d. Electronic

ANSWER: Magnetic
 
French firm Cooltech Applications has launched what it claims as the world’s first commercially available magnetic refrigeration system.
  • It can serve as a “Superfridge” slashing down both the environmental as well as economic challenges which the current electricity appliances face.
  • The Magnetic Refrigeration System (MRS) achieves refrigeration by passing a water coolant through magnetocaloric materials undergoing repeated magnetization-demagnetization cycles.
  • Glycol water is used as a coolant fluid to transfer heat between cold and hot sources working on the system of magneto caloric events.
