"Super Fridge"

                                                    
                                                             Next Generation of Refrigeration

Scientist at the National physics laboratory and imperial college are working on a project which could completely change refrigeration industry.Traditional method could be replaced by a more efficient and environmentally friendly cooling alternative which uses the electro-caloric effect to develop new methods of cooling..

Electro-caloric effect:

                                       In which a material changes temperature under an applied electric field.

Present refrigeration working:

                                       Gas -> cooled -> condensed to liquid -> absorbs heat from the refrigeration area -> re-evaporate -> cycle continues.

 

The chemicals can be harmful to environment method also has low efficiency requires high energy.

Thermoelectric and magnetic cooling technologies have been put forward as Eco-friendly alternative to vapor compression.

It could potentially deliver higher efficiency than vapor compression.

It could also offer reduced size and weight making it viable for application like cooling electronics.
