Evaporative cooling: continuation of the Cold-Snap project at Harvard University
Tests show that Cold-Snap evaporative cooling technology would be effective in humid climates, while limiting water consumption.
Refrigeration, a key player to eradicate malaria
Refrigeration techniques have been used to develop and preserve the very first malaria vaccine, which has been administered to almost 2 million children since 2019.
Latest IGU report: alarming gas-to-coal switching requires low-carbon solutions
The International Gas Union (IGU) assesses the global natural gas trade in 2020-21 in a report released in May 2022. The report also discusses the need for long-term alternatives to natural gas to reduce...
Refrigeration technologies help preserve biodiversity
The role of refrigeration in biodiversity protection is illustrated by two examples: the cryopreservation of coral larvae and the use of refrigeration to fight bee colony collapse.
Briefs: first bank of coral cells
US scientists have created the first bank of frozen coral cells, intended to preserve endangered coral species in Hawaii and protect their diversity. The bank so far contains frozen sperm and embryonic cells from mushroom coral and rice...
EU requires cold treatment for citrus imports
According to a new EU legislation, a mandatory cold treatment will be required for citrus fruits imported from non-EU countries.
Evaporative cooling without adding humidity
Scientists at the University of Harvard have designed a prototype evaporative cooling system called Cold-SNAP that effectively cools air at low cost for both dry and humid climates.
Benefits of refrigeration in reducing stomach cancers highlighted
In its 2008 World Cancer Report, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2010, cancer will be the leading cause of death in the world, surpassing heart disease and causing more deaths than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. WHO...
Briefs: Doubt on the air quality in airplanes
The Committee on Toxicity, an independent group of experts consulted by the British government estimated that 1% of all daily passenger air flights were affected by smoke incidents in the cabin, and airlines acknowledge 0.05%. in the United States...
Do aliens use CFCs?
What if the search for extra-terrestrial life took a new turn? A grant recently awarded to a team of scientists will finance research for "technosignatures", which would include CFCs.
Cool like a butterfly wing
New study demonstrates that butterfly wings contain a network of living cells with specific thermodynamic and thermoregulatory properties. Butterfly wings cool down as a result of low solar absorption combined with efficient radiative heat...
Edible packaging: drink a beverage and eat the bottle too!

Liquefied Natural Gas: production process and cold energy recovery
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to about -160 °C and turned into a liquid to facilitate transportation and storage. A typical LNG supply chain...
Cold storage conditions for fruits and vegetables
Practical recommendations for the cold storage of over 200 cultivars of fruits, vegetables and herbs (storage temperatures, relative humidity, storage time, controlled atmosphere...
Environmental impact of the ice cream industry
This summary document describes the environmental impact of ice cream manufacturing, which is mainly due to the energy consumption and refrigerants used.
Ice cream manufacturing, environmental impact and market data
From a physico-chemical point of view, ice cream is a complex, frozen multiphase mixture. The manufacturing process includes several stages of freezing which are described in this...
