Chinese scientists have discovered a promising ‘green’ refrigeration technology that may replace traditional refrigerants represented by freon, a greenhouse gas that leads to severe climate problems, Xinhua reported.
The research team led by Tong Peng at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences found an excellent cooling performance with n-alkanes through solid-liquid state transition driven by high pressure, the report said. The discovery provides a new perspective for developing eco-friendly refrigeration technology, it said.
