Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the engineering and scientific aspects of thermal energy systems, particularly refrigeration and air conditioning. Research investigates methods to improve the efficiency and performance of vapor compression refrigeration systems through component design, refrigerant selection, and operational strategies like sub-cooling and heat exchange. The scope also includes thermal energy storage using phase change materials and alternative cooling technologies such as vortex tubes and absorption refrigeration systems, often with an emphasis on environmental impact and energy conservation.
