Discover the new technologies that are transforming the refrigeration market with energy efficiency and sustainability!
the use of air conditioning It is an effective way to deal with high temperatures, but its high energy consumption is a constant concern.
Today, companies around the world are innovating in refrigeration technologies that promise to replace traditional air conditioning, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability.
Explore four innovations that have the potential to replace conventional air conditioning units, from groundbreaking radiant ceilings to geothermal cooling systems.
- Engineer created a bicycle with square wheels
- China turns the moon race upside down for an unusual reason: its scientists have found a flaw in NASA's reactor design
- Team of archaeologists says they have discovered an underground city beneath the pyramids in Egypt; Techniques used generate controversy and experts urge caution
- The Brazilian company that is impressing scientists around the world
Radiant ceiling: a sustainable and efficient solution
O radiant ceiling emerges as an innovative alternative, using panels with low-temperature water tubes to air-condition spaces.
Based on thermal radiation, this technology distributes heat or cold evenly, resulting in lower energy consumption.
Additionally, the radiant ceiling offers quiet operation, a discreet design and low maintenance requirements, making it ideal for buildings.
Caeli one: Caeli Energie's innovation
French startup Caeli Energie has introduced Caeli One, a system that uses up to five times less energy than traditional air conditioners.
Through adiabatic cooling and water evaporation, it eliminates the need for refrigerant gases, reducing carbon emissions by 80%.
At 2,5 meters high, the device cools areas of 20 to 40 square meters. Despite the initial cost of €2.500 to €3.000, its energy efficiency guarantees long-term savings.
Elastocaloric cooling: research from the University of Hong Kong
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong are developing elastocaloric cooling, a system that is 48% more efficient than conventional air conditioners.
This method dispenses with refrigerant gases, using metal alloys that change the temperature through mechanical force.
In addition to domestic refrigeration, the innovation could improve the performance of electric car batteries, according to the journal Nature Energy.
Underground air: USP geothermal technology
The University of São Paulo (USP) has created a system that uses fresh air from underground, which is naturally cooler than the surface. This geothermal method uses buried cables to cool environments, reducing energy consumption by up to 60% in commercial buildings and hospitals.
Although already implemented in countries such as Germany and Switzerland, in Brazil, the challenge is to make it economically accessible, according to Canaltech.
These four innovations show how the future of refrigeration can be greener and more efficient.
With technologies like radiant ceilings and Caeli One, traditional air conditioning could soon be a thing of the past.

How much does the M2 cost?
Will it reduce 5 or 6 degrees?
I don't care, right?
I prefer good old air conditioning…
Samuel, where does it say that it will reduce by 5 or 6 degrees?
