Future Refrigerator which Does Not Require Compressor
Abstract: It sounds crazy a refrigerator made from a rubber band. But if one stretches a rubber band and hold it against one's lips, it will be noticeably warmer. If it is released, it cools. This simple "elastocaloric" effect can transfer heat in much the same way as compressing and expanding a fluid refrigerant in a fridge or air conditioner. Now, researchers have created a version that not only stretches the …

Renewable-Powered HVAC Systems: Advances in Solar, Bioenergy, and Heat Pump Technologies
Abstract: The global demand for refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, and ventilation (HVAC) systems has increased rapidly due to population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and rising expectations for indoor thermal comfort. These systems account for a substantial share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, primarily because they rely heavily on fossil-fuel-based electricity and thermal energy. Consequently, the decarbonization of HVAC and refrigeration sectors has become a critical component of global climate …
