Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate

Coefficient of performance (i.e. energy efficiency) at decent delta-T is always the most important factor and rarely mentioned.

Modern cooling equipment generally has the largest environmental impact from energy consumption, not manufacturing or refrigerant leakage.

Especially with ultra-low-GWP propane or butane refrigerant, though that’s not usually used in large-scale systems.
