The thermodynamic characterisation of magnetocaloric materials is an essential task when evaluating the performance a cooling process based on effect and its application in magnetic refrigeration cycle. Several methods for their properties are available literature. These can be generally divided into theoretical experimental methods. further direct indirect In this paper, new procedure artificial neural network to predict reported. results show that provides highly accurate predictions both...
The path towards decarbonization requires a progressive adaptation of all refrigeration systems, but only stationary ones have been intensely studied to improve their environmental performance. However, refrigerated transport is vital in the cold chain and must be considered green transition. In this paper, we propose model for hybrid van that includes photovoltaic panels electric batteries decrease total greenhouse gas emissions from engine. Thermal, electrical, battery sub-models are...
Electrocaloric refrigeration shows potential as a viable alternative to vapor-compression and/or thermo-electric refrigeration. One of the main challenges that need be addressed in electrocaloric technology is fatigue behavior materials, terms both structural and functional aspects. Here, comprehensive evaluation 0.9Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.1PbTiO3 (PMN-10PT) bulk relaxor ferroelectric (or shortly relaxor) ceramic at room temperature performed. First, temperature-change dependence on slew rate was...
In this paper, an extensive study on the energy losses of a magnetic refrigerator prototype developed at University Salerno, named ‘8MAG’, is carried out with aim to improve performance such system. The design details ‘8MAG’ evidences both mechanical and thermal losses, which are mainly attributed eddy currents generation into support regenerators (magnetocaloric wheel) parasitic heat load rotary valve. latter component fundamental since it imparts direction transfer fluid distribution...
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) incorporated in refrigerators can be used to shift their energy consumption from peak periods, when the electric network demand is highest, off-peak periods. While PCMs flatten curve, they achieve economic savings if Time-of-Use (TOU) electricity tariffs are applied. However, hourly carbon emission factor not commonly linked tariff, and final CO2 emitted due operations of refrigerator would fully optimized. In this work, a method based on Simulated Annealing...

Carbon dioxide trans-critical refrigeration systems have been deeply investigated over the last years, with aim to improve their performance by using several possible technical solutions. However, most of them lead a more complex and expensive system, therefore trade-off is always needed identify best viable solution. Therefore, many efforts also focused on study critical component basic carbon cycle, which gas cooler, especially numerical simulations. This work shows new flexible approach...
Over the years, experimental and numerical studies have consolidated potential of caloric cooling as a technology tomorrow. The numerous investigations conducted all-over-the-world shown that bottleneck in energy performances cooler is made up by amplitude effect exhibited employed solid-state refrigerant. Therefore, since choice most appropriate refrigerant constitutes critical factor cooler, scientific community has increasingly turned its attention upon development promising materials for...
