Design of a Double-Acting Acoustic Driver for Compact Thermoacoustic Refrigerators

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the major scientific and technological challenges of our time. In line with the European Union’s objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, the development of environmentally friendly cooling technologies has become essential. Conventional refrigeration and heat pump systems rely on refrigerants with significant environmental impact, motivating the search for sustainable alternatives. Thermoacoustic refrigeration is an emerging green technology that converts acoustic energy into cooling power without the use of harmful refrigerants. The ANR-funded project ImClean aims to improve the specific cooling capacity and compactness of thermoacoustic refrigerators through a better understanding of acoustic energy losses and the development of
innovative acoustic drivers.
