A cooling device built to last: Sustainable refrigeration system maintains performance through one million cycles

Scientists developed a sustainable refrigeration system that maintains performance after one million cycles. The technology aims to replace conventional vapor-compression systems, which are energy-intensive and use refrigerants harmful to the climate and ozone layer.

• System survived one million operating cycles without performance loss
• Goal is to replace energy-intensive vapor-compression systems
• Conventional refrigerants drive global warming and deplete ozone
