The global cooling sector is at a crossroads, driven by the twin imperatives of mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions and meeting growing demand for food preservation, air conditioning and industrial ...

Scientists in China have developed a PV-driven direct-drive refrigeration system for electronic device cooling. The proposed system has so far provided low exergy levels, but its costs are much lower ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is another in a series of columns addressing advanced basics in the understanding of the refrigeration cycle. In this column and the next (on July 4), we look at components. This column will deal ...
