Chinese researchers discover new salty cooling solution that can drop temperatures by more than 50 degrees Celsius in seconds — depressurizing saturated fluid triggers massive amounts of heat transfer | Tom's Hardware
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered that saturating water with ammonium thiocyanate salt and pressurizing it, and then suddenly releasing the pressure, would allow it to cool by 30 degrees C (54 degrees F) at room temperatures, even going as far as a 50-degree C (122 degrees F) drop in warmer environments.
