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 ...

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 ...

As the ambient temperature increases, a gas turbine’s output decreases. Since spot market prices for power invariably increase in the summer, the reduced gas turbine output at high temperatures can ...

With global energy prices soaring to record high levels and no end in sight, home appliance manufacturers struggle to find innovative and effective ways to improve energy efficiency. Among the most ...

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 ...

The Montreal Protocol regulations on gases that deplete the earth’s ozone layer have led to the phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as refrigerants in industrialized countries. Moreover, ...
