1997 Ichimura Industrial Award: Contribution Prize
- Awarded
- "Y-Hot" gas heat pump with new exhaust heat recycling system
- This engine waste heat recycling system works such that when the air conditioner is in use, waste heat is sent through spiraling pipes (to increase surface area) into an accumulator filled with liquid refrigerant. The liquid absorbs the heat and causes it to evaporate into refrigerant gas, which is then recycled through to the compressor.
