The core of a refrigeration system is the compressor, which is designed to pump cool refrigerant gas from the evaporator into the condenser. To accomplish this task the compressor raises the ...

We'll discuss the refrigeration cycle using the cycle diagram below. Component #1 is the compressor. It takes refrigerant vapor in from the low pressure side of the circuit, and discharges it at a ...

A recent study has unveiled a significant advancement in refrigeration technology. This work introduces an optimized Compression-Absorption Cascade Refrigeration Cycle (CACRC) that remarkably reduces ...

This is the last (I think) blog entry based on the Nanotech/Cleantech workshop sponsored by the co-located California Institute of Nanotechnology and the Cleantech Institute. One of yesterday’s ...

Besides superfluous features like touchscreens and internal cameras, basic refrigerator technology hasn't changed much in decades. They still chill your milk by way of chemical refrigerants and ...

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 ...

(nrd/Unsplash) Say hello to ionocaloric cooling. It's a new way to lower temperatures, with the potential to replace existing ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...
