kylmätekniikkaan
Kylmätekniikka, or refrigeration engineering, is the branch of engineering that deals with the transfer and removal of heat from a system to keep it at a lower temperature than its surroundings. It encompasses the design, construction, and maintenance of equipment used for cooling, freezing, and climate control in a variety of settings, from industrial processes and food preservation to air conditioning and medical storage. The fundamental principles are based on thermodynamics, specifically the refrigeration cycle, which requires a working fluid, a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator.
Historical developments in kylmätekniikka began in the 18th century with the advent of dry ice and early
Applications are extensive: food storage facilities, industrial chillers, data centre cooling, cold chain logistics, pharmaceutical storage,
Energy consumption and environmental regulation are major concerns. Emission limits on ozone-depleting substances lead to stricter
