Eckhard A. Groll works on refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump systems, with a strong focus on compressor design (scroll, screw, and reciprocating types) and low-global-warming-potential refrigerants like R290 (propane) and CO2. His research combines experimental testing and numerical/machine-learning modeling to improve the efficiency and environmental performance of heating and cooling equipment used in homes and buildings.
