A solid-state refrigerator based on the electrocaloric effect

Applied Physics Letters, 2012
The electrocaloric effect offers an attractive alternative to the Peltier effect for compact high-efficiency solid-state refrigeration. We report an implementation and experimental characterization of a continuous electrocaloric refrigeration cycle where we use switchable liquid-based thermal interfaces to achieve reliable high-contrast thermal ...

Barocaloric effect and the pressure induced solid state refrigerator

Journal of Applied Physics, 2011
The current refrigerators are based on the heating and cooling of fluids under external pressure variation. The great inconvenience of this refrigeration technology is the damage caused to the environment by the refrigerant fluids. In this paper, we discuss the magnetic barocaloric effect, i.e., the heating or cooling of magnetic materials under ...

Solid-state magnetic refrigerator based on the demagnetizing effect

International Journal of Refrigeration
With population growth, changes in lifestyle and global wanning, the demand for ecological and low-energy consumption technologies is rising sharply. Magnetic refrigeration is a promising alternative to conventional refrigeration. However, several factors still impair its performance, thereby delaying commercialization. The use of thermal management

Laser (Cooling) Refrigeration in Erbium Based Solid State Materials

2015
The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of erbium based solid state materials for laser refrigeration in bulk material. A great deal of work in the field has been focused on the use of ytterbium based ZBLAN glass. Some experiments have also reported cooling in thulium based solid state materials but with considerably less success ...
