Investigating alternative cooling technologies with attention to efficiency, robustness, and appliance-level feasibility.
Beko advances cooling technologies for household refrigeration and freezer applications with a focus on energy efficiency, system durability, and optimized usable volume under real-life operating conditions. This work spans both conventional and emerging cooling approaches, with particular attention to performance stability across different climate classes, long-term reliability, and compatibility with existing appliance architectures. The objective is to evaluate alternative cooling concepts not only in terms of efficiency, but also with respect to integration feasibility and overall system-level impact as demonstrated in commercial refrigerator platforms like: ProSmart Inverter Compressor, NeoFrost Dual Cooling Technology and OptiCool.
Within this framework, collaboration interest is expressed in next-generation cooling technologies for household cold appliances. Areas of interest include alternative cooling approaches evaluated under representative household operating conditions (e.g., caloric cooling and advanced cooling with thermoelectric (TE) modules), with comparative assessment against established cooling solutions in terms of efficiency, system robustness, and usable volume. In addition, solid-state and electrically driven cooling concepts are explored for their potential to support localized or system-level thermal management. The focus is on understanding technical maturity, integration pathways, and performance behavior under real-life use scenarios, rather than on standalone component-level optimization.
