Green Material for Refrigeration Identified
I have no idea how will it gonna work. First you squeeze it, put it into fridge, unsqueeze it, make it absorb heat, get it out of the fridge, and repeat.
Don't seem to be an easily automatable work

Pretty sure the mechanisms to do that are built into the fridge - a compressor, just like current refrigerators but using solids instead of gas.

Hmmm, how do you pump a solid matter?

You don't - you pump coolant around it to exchange heat.

Anyhow, of course one doesn’t have to remove it from the fridge each time, and all the work is done by a mechanism.
