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 ...

Last month’s article on CO 2 introduced readers to the properties of this low-GWP refrigerant, which has been around for a very long time and can keep food cold without harming the environment. There ...

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 ...

Adding salt to a road before a winter storm changes when ice will form. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have applied this basic concept ...

In refrigeration, flash-gas is refrigerant in gas form produced spontaneously when the condensed liquid is subjected to boiling. The presence of flash-gas in the liquid lines reduces the efficiency of ...

As the heart of a refrigeration system, the compressor is a vapor pump that creates the system’s required pressure differences between the low and high sides of the system. In addition, it raises the ...
