“The proposed system integrates photovoltaic power generation with direct-cooling and vapor compression refrigeration (VCR),” the research's lead author, Xiaohui Yu, told pv magazine.

Exploring a dual-section mechanism that combines vapor-compression with absorption refrigeration technologies, the research team conducted a thorough analysis of 16 distinct refrigerants in the ...

Traditional cooling methods rely on vapor compression refrigeration, which uses harmful refrigerants that contribute to global warming. The search for efficient, eco-friendly alternatives has led ...
