Abstract: Portable refrigeration devices including methods for preparing heat sink materials for use in such devices, and the heat sink materials prepared in this way. The methods relate to the encapsulation of such materials, and the maximization of heat transfer efficiency to heat sink materials in such refrigeration devices.
Abstract: Portable refrigeration devices (1) including methods for preparing sorbents (30) for use in such devices, and the sorbents (30) prepared in this way. The methods relate to the substantially complete degassing for the maximization of receiving refrigerant vapor from the evaporator chamber (10) of such refrigeration devices (1), and the maximization of heat transfer to heat sink materials (40) in such refrigeration devices (1).
