Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Refrigeration systems have become crucial in a wide range of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications in several areas, ranging from food and air conditioning to health care, industry, and energy. These systems consume about 20% of the overall electricity used worldwide. Therefore, the research and development of new technologies for refrigeration and heat pump systems is essential to improving the efficiency of the systems.
Replacing high-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants is also a challenge in the field. These new low-GWP fluids must ensure that the energy efficiency of current refrigeration systems is not compromised and establish the modifications that are necessary for this.
Finally, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems must adapt to the use of new renewable energy sources, which are intermittent and must be improved.

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.
