CEEE Publishes Paper About “Cool” Technology

A research team from the University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE) presents elastocaloric cooling as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional compression systems in an article published in the June 2024 issue of the “International Journal of Refrigeration.” Because conventional chemical refrigerants contribute to global warming, researchers are looking toward solid-state refrigerants. Elastocaloric cooling is one of the most promising solid-state technologies.
