This looks like a clever and efficient design that could change a lot in the world of refrigeration, heat pumps and air conditioning. It uses less power, delivers higher pressure, and presents little start-up surge current to the grid. It will be interesting to see if it turns into a practical alternative to the reciprocating piston compressor.

Super-efficient linear compressor could vastly reduce air con power use
Compressor efficiency might not sound like the most exciting topic in the world, but consider this: the hotter the world gets – and the wealthier its developing countries become – the more air conditioners will come online. According to the IEA, fans and air con already represent an astonishing 10…
