Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
HFCs with high GWP contribute to global warming. To reduce their greenhouse effect and improve the energy efficiency of refrigeration/heat pumps, it is important to develop new low-GWP refrigerants; recover and reclaim the existing HFCs from refrigeration units that need maintenance, dismantling, and scrapping; build new cooling systems; and design and optimize of refrigeration/heat pump systems.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to Alternative Refrigerants and Refrigeration/Heat Pump Systems.
Subjects that will be discussed in this Special Issue will focus not only on natural refrigerants, low-GWP synthetic refrigerants, mixed refrigerants, refrigerant safety, refrigerant recovery and reclamation, and refrigerant evaluation but also on the construction, design and optimization of refrigeration/heat pump systems.

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.
