Recently, a groundbreaking achievement has been made in the refrigeration technology sphere by a research team helmed by Researcher Li Bing from the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their collaborators. They've unveiled the 'solution pressure-card effect' for the very first time.

This effect harnesses the power of pressure regulation during the dissolution/precipitation process of ammonium thiocyanate solution to achieve highly efficient refrigeration. Under normal room temperature conditions, the solution can experience a dramatic temperature plunge of nearly 30℃ in a mere 20 seconds. Moreover, every gram of this solution is capable of absorbing 67 joules of heat per cycle, boasting a theoretical efficiency rate of 77%.

This remarkable discovery shatters the long-standing 'impossible trinity' in the refrigeration realm—that is, achieving 'low-carbon emissions, large cooling capacity, and high heat transfer' simultaneously. It offers a novel, low-carbon, and highly efficient cooling solution tailored for computing infrastructure, especially for energy-guzzling data centers. The team's related findings were featured in the prestigious international academic journal Nature on January 22nd.
