Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The refrigeration sector, including air conditioning, consumes about 20% of the overall electricity used worldwide. Additionally, the IIR estimates that global electricity demand for refrigeration, including air conditioning, could more than double by 2050. Consequently, the design and development of more efficient refrigeration and heat pumps systems is mandatory in order to reduce their effect on the environment.
Topics related to the following research lines will find a place in this Special Issue, although any other suggestion could fit as well. These topics of interest for publication could be experimentally or computationally studied.
- State of the art of air conditioning and refrigeration
- Novel and advanced refrigerant blends
- New development of technologies
- New system configurations
- New hybridization of technologies

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
