Jiangsu Provincial Technology and Engineering Research Center for New Refrigeration

The Jiangsu Provincial Technology and Engineering Research Center for New Refrigeration was founded in 2003 at the approval of the Development and Reform Commission of Jiangsu Province. It is dedicated to researching potential and cutting-edging new technology of refrigeration and its application.

Over the past decade or so, the center has done research mainly in room-temperature magnetic refrigerators, ferroelectric refrigeration, micro channel capillary heat pipes, phase change heat storage, the radiation and comprehensive use of solar battery and super lattice high-performance semiconductor thermoelectric material. It was the first in the world to succeed in making a sample machine of permanent magnets room-temperature refrigerators, which marked big progress in the 30-year refrigeration research. It brought up a mixed cool storage refrigeration model which makes it possible to develop high-power room-temperature magnetic refrigerators. It invented the drum-type rotary room-temperature magnetic refrigerator, which has two-times-high utilization in its magnet use compared to the other room-temperature magnetic refrigerators. It conceived the idea of and then turned out the two-in-one double cavity rotation magnets, which contributed to making smaller and more efficient room-temperature magnetic refrigerators.
