Refrigeration property exploration of the superabsorbent hydrogel: Mechanism and application feasibility analysis

A novel phenomenon that the phase equilibrium temperature (PET) of the poly (sodium acrylate) based superabsorbent hydrogel was lower than that of water was found, and its application potential in refrigeration was analyzed in this study. In addition, relations between the unit refrigerating capacit...
