Refrigeration works by condensing a gas such as ammonia and then releasing it to lose pressure and drop quickly in temperature. I wonder if you could save a larger amount of compressed gas (like in a gas compresser) and release it slowly during electricity shortages. Again, I'm not an expert on refrigeration, so this might be an impossible idea.</p>Sam NamWed, 20 Feb 2008 12:03:42 -0000
