Summary

Research into cooling technologies has been preoccupied with improving the energy efficiency of traditional vapour compression systems and the development and use of more environmentally acceptable refrigerants. However, more effort can be devoted to the exploration and development and integration of alternative cooling technologies such as thermoelectrics, magnetocalorics, acoustic refrigeration, and Stirling cycles.
