Conventional air conditioning (AC) systems provide simultaneous sensible and latent
cooling. This requires air to be cooled below its dew point temperature resulting in low …

This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy and assessment of existing and emerging
space cooling technologies in Europe. The study aims to categorize 32 alternative space …

This paper provides an update on alternative cooling technologies in the context of a report
by Fischer et al.[2], which contains an extensive assessment of “not-in-kind” technologies …

With advances in solid-state cooling materials in the past decade, non-vapor compression
technologies, or not-in-kind (NIK) cooling technologies have garnered great attention …

Applications of metal hydrides (MHs) utilise a reversible interaction of hydride-forming
metals, alloys and intermetallic compounds with hydrogen. The reversible process of the …

The design of a rotary active magnetic regenerator heat pump device with a multi-bed
concept is presented. Important design features are the rotating two-pole magnet assembly …

This paper comprehensively reviews household refrigerator technologies including current
cycle options and future not-in-kind options. Most of the refrigerators are based on a vapor …

The energy demand in buildings represents a considerable share of the overall energy use.
Given the significance and acknowledged flexibility of thermostatically controlled loads, they …

In this paper we draw a map of the energy performances of a solid-state caloric heat pump
working with different caloric-effect materials. The investigation is performed considering a …

Nano-confined spaces in nanoporous materials enable anomalous physicochemical
phenomena. While most nanoporous materials including metal-organic frameworks are …
