Background

Several industrial cold-chain applications currently rely on vapor compression refrigeration cycles using refrigerants whose environmental impact is not negligible. This is particularly the case for mobile refrigeration systems, which require continuous operation supported by onboard mechanical or electrical energy sources. Due to the environmental concerns associated with conventional refrigerants, increasing attention is being paid to so-called such as air, CO₂, and ammonia, particularly within sorption-based refrigeration cycles.

The COLDWAY technology is based on the sorption–desorption of ammonia within a solid adsorbent matrix, enabling the simultaneous production of cooling and heating with negligible ozone depletion potential and near-zero global warming potential.
