Wedoany.com Report on Feb 7th, Most refrigeration equipment we use daily, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, relies on gas compression refrigeration. This cooling technology not only consumes nearly 20% of electricity in China but also generates 7.8% of carbon emissions. Now, researchers from institutions including the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a new refrigeration mechanism—"dissolution pressure-caloric effect"—which is expected to simultaneously address the three major challenges faced by current refrigeration technology: high carbon emissions, limited cooling capacity, and low heat exchange efficiency. This discovery provides a new pathway for developing the next generation of efficient and environmentally friendly cooling technologies. The related research was published in Nature on the 22nd.
