State of the art / Technologies (advanced and alternative) for cold production
For purposes of a competititive and energy efficient industrial development, attention has recently been brought to the improvment of industrial air conditionnig and cooling systems.
Compression-expansion cycles have reached acceptable performances, but are challenged by the evolutions in regulation of use of liquid refrigerents (GWP : Global Warming Potential ; ODP : Ozone Depletion Potential). Therefore, the need to reach a durable, competitive and energy efficient production of cold has become a major challenge in industry.
This study presents a overview of recent cooling technologies, aiming to respect the new environmental regulations while maintaining/improving performances.
