Refrigeration is one of the most important applications in the food industry. It preserves food while retaining its nutritional characteristics, slows the growth of bacteria in food, maintains organoleptic properties, and extends shelf life. It also makes it possible to control the processes of fermentation, ripening, and senescence.

Refrigeration is also used in industrial processes such as energy (with gas liquefaction), magnetocaloric materials, metalworking, and more. Cryogenics, magnetic refrigeration, refrigeration with misting…
