Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate
Gladaed@feddit.org 1 day agoSome sources claim much higher efficiency. This makes sense to me since you are not limited by your coolant’s properties so much and don’t have to maintain pressure. But I can’t do in depth research for you.

What sources?
The article doesn’t list any. All it says is they reached a cooling temperature of -12°C, but has no information on the energy used to achieve that.

Google “elastocaloric heat pump efficiency” thats the technical term.

I’m asking what sauce you have that says that they are more efficient than refrigeration systems because everything I find says the opposite.
