Cooling technology requirements have moved beyond our basic needs for comfort and food safety, and their new development should meet extra requirements, such as compliance to new efficiency standards and legal codes on refrigerant. ASHRAE members have demonstrated a lot of development in these aspects for vapor compression technology, but what is happening to other alternatives? In this seminar, the new breakthroughs of three alternative cooling technologies--electrocaloric cooling, magnetocaloric refrigeration and elastocaloric cooling--are explored for their potentials to meet the new challenges. The presentations also cover their theories and experimental results, including potential commercial development.
