TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that elastocaloric cooling (EC), a type of solid-state cooling mechanism based on the latent heat of reversible martensitic transformation, can have the coefficient of performance as high as ≈11, with a directly measured ΔT of 17 C.

TL;DR: In this paper, a few novel design options aiming to reduce the cyclic loss were proposed, and a multi-objective optimization problem was formulated and solved using the genetic algorithm to maximize the system capacity and coefficient of performance (COP).

TL;DR: In this article, the design of elastocaloric cooling system driven by hydraulic actuators is presented, where Ni-Ti tubes under axial compressive loading mode are used in the system to provide cooling and heating.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a novel and high-efficient heat recovery (HR) cycle for solid-state materials with high thermal conductivity, which was compared as an analog of spatial scale counter-flow heat transfer process.

TL;DR: In this article, a portable personal cooling system integrated with phase change material (PCM) for active thermal storage was investigated, where a PCM embedded in a graphite matrix is integrated into the condenser of the vapor compression cycle while an evaporator provides localized cooling.
