Figure 1: Schematic representation of a magnetic-refrigeration cycle, which transports heat from the heat load to its surroundings. The heating and cooling that occurs in the magnetic refrigeration ...

The auto-cascade refrigeration system represents an innovative evolution in low-temperature and cryogenic refrigeration technology. Operating on the principle of using mixed refrigerants with distinct ...

In three previous articles, we have presented an overview of CO2 (R-744) as a refrigerant, its applications in industrial refrigeration, and a case study of a CO2 cascade system in a European ...

A fundamental knowledge of the refrigeration cycle, refrigerants, and components is necessary to be successful in the field, and pass the closed-book EPA Section 608 refrigerant certification ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a novel potential means of alternative refrigeration: ionocaloric cooling. The method involves electrically charged atoms or ...

Seeking to make cooling more climate friendly and efficient, researchers used an environmentally-benign solvent and a salt – versus hydrofluorocarbons or other liquid refrigerants – to present a new ...
