Frederick Welck, at left, an intern from Institut für Technische Chemie in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany, and mechanical engineering doctoral student Christian Bach work with an experimental setup for testing valves as part of research led by Purdue University to develop more efficient heat pumps. The improved efficiency could allow residents in cold climates to cut their heating bills in half, in research funded by the California Energy Commission. A follow-up project, funded by the US Department of Energy, will build on this and previous work that began about five years ago at Purdue's Ray W. Herrick Laboratories.
