The basic refrigeration cycle is a fourstep process. Low-pressure refrigerant vapor enters the compressor where the volume is compressed and temperature rises.

Berkeley Lab scientists have developed ionocaloric cooling, a new refrigeration cycle they hope could help phase out refrigerants that contribute to global warming.

Researchers have developed a new kind of heating and cooling method that they have named the ionocaloric refrigeration cycle. They hope the technique will someday help phase out refrigerants that ...

Roughly three-quarters of our food passes through some kind of refrigeration on its journey from harvest to supermarket. Yet our understanding of that journey, the "cold chain" process, is a ...

Refrigeration is the process of creating cooling conditions by removing heat. It is mostly used to preserve food and other perishable items, preventing foodborne illnesses. It works because ...
