A researcher from Saudi Arabia's University of Ha'il has conducted an exergy and energy analysis of a PV-driven single-effect absorption cooling system (SEAC) that uses water-lithium bromide (H₂O–LiBr ...

Conventional cooling systems consume a high percentage of the world’s total electricity generation. Because absorption cooling systems can be mainly operated with thermal energy, they can be used to ...

Although absorption chillers were introduced over a century ago, today it is worth examining what’s new and what’s next while dispelling some old misconceptions. Absorption chiller technology has ...

When Dr. Sarah Kim was a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she obtained a Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, her thesis was on experimental and computational ...

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 ...

Cooling materials using interaction with light has come a long way in the past 20 years. Researchers at the recent 2013 Photonics West showed that they can cool new types of materials and more can be ...
