Ionocaloric cooling could help phase out refrigerants that contribute to global warming. (Courtesy: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab) A new refrigeration method dubbed “ionocaloric cooling” could one day ...
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are currently used as refrigerants in air-conditioning (AC) systems, are potent greenhouse gases, with high values of global warming potential (GWP). Although the ...
Vapor compression cycles are predominantly used in air-conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration equipment. A good understanding of transient behaviors of vapor compression systems is critical to ...
The rising demand for cooling worldwide comes with significant energy consumption and environmental concerns. Traditional ...
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 ...
IIT Madras has achieved temperature as low as -200 degree C by using a single stage vapour compression refrigerator using a compressor that is routinely used in domestic refrigerators and ...
When we think of chillers, we generally think of the systems that are designed to do the heavy lifting when it comes to cooling large facilities — retail stores, office towers, shopping malls, airport ...
