Extending the global reach of refrigeration the development of a novel, water based technology
This paper by J&E Hall Gold Medal Winner Ian Tansley describes a refrigeration technology that delivers highly accurate and stable temperatures at the same time as enabling energy storage. This is particularly useful when energy supplies are intermittent and enables users to choose how and when refrigerators are run.
Millions of people around the world do not have a refrigerator for the simple reason that they don’t have the right kind of power to support it. This technology is so simple that it can easily be incorporated into an entry level refrigerator at very low cost. The impact of this advance is significant on the quality of life of the recipients, not to mention the benefits of being able to keep food fresher.
