Eco-friendly cooling for Tokyo’s Haneda Airport
The new international terminal of Haneda Airport opened in October 2010. It uses a combination of geothermal energy, solar power and cogeneration systems to reduce energy consumption and is also the first airport to use sodium sulphur (NaS)...
PCMs and ice slurries: PCMs: two recent applications
Phase-change materials (PCMs) can provide thermal storage which means that they can absorb thermal energy when they solidify and release it when they melt. This can be very useful to dampen temperature swings. PCMs are usually water-based and are...
Ionocaloric cooling: a new technology under development in the US
A cooling technique using liquid-to-solid phase change fcould be an alternative to vapour compression systems, according to researchers at the University of Berkeley.
Cryochemistry: chemical reactions accelerated by freezing
Surprisingly, some chemical reactions can be accelerated by freezing. The possible applications of studying such cryoreactions include the food and pharmaceutical cold chain, as well...
Modern cryosurgical techniques and devices
Since the 80’s, device miniaturization makes it possible to introduce endoscopic cryoprobes through natural channels (bronchia, urethra…) without requiring traditional surgery.
