  • State of the art and future perspectives of caloric technologies
    Kitanovski, Andrej ; Poredoš, Alojz
    In the recent years, several caloric technologies have been investigated for future refrigeration, heat pumping, air conditioning or even energy harvesting. Many of these technologies suggest the ... possibility for improvements in energy efficiency, compactness, noise level, as well as a reduction in environmental impacts. Therefore, they represent serious alternatives to the rather mature domain of a vapor-compression technology. Part II reviewed the present status and engineering challenges of different caloric refrigeration and heat pump technologies. It addressed and explained main obstacles and introduced potential solutions, then proposed future research directions and actions needed to overcome existing barriers toward the real market applications. This segment concluded with a presentation of the most interesting market niches for the earlier industrialization of the caloric energy conversion.
