| “元宇宙”概念自提出以来，迅速成为国内外各级政府和企业发展规划、专家学者和相关研究人员个人研究计划中炙手可热的字眼。制冷行业在元宇宙这一新赛道中面临着更多的发展机遇和挑战，亟需为前路的发展方向铺垫相关理论知识和进行技术更新。
本文回顾了大数据时代这一背景，从大数据时代对制冷领域的影响和制冷技术对大数据时代的影响两方面阐述了大数据与制冷的关系。大数据是制冷领域发展机遇的创造者，本文以制冷空调行业为例，介绍了大数据相关技术在空调系统优化和空调企业数字化运营中的应用。制冷技术是大数据迅猛发展的保卫者，本文分别介绍了制冷技术在产业上游数据中心的冷却系统建设和解决下游终端产品的散热问题中发挥的重要作用。上述分析为元宇宙时代与制冷领域关系的思考提供了参考。
然后，本文梳理了元宇宙时代兴起背后的蓄力，包括助推力量、国内外布局以及美好愿景。并客观地直视了元宇宙发展过程中的风险，包括算力风险、沉迷风险、伦理问题、知识产权问题、经济风险、产业霸权等最为突出的几大风险。机遇与挑战并存是元宇宙时代鲜明的发展背景。
最后，本文重点讨论了元宇宙与制冷的关系。一方面是元宇宙给制冷领域带来了新发展思路，包括庞大的元宇宙生态所带来的对制冷设备和专业人才大幅上升的需求量；元宇宙世界能够提供沉浸式教学和职业培训；借鉴于“互联网+”，“元宇宙+”意味着现实行业向“虚实交互”转型升级。另一方面是制冷技术对元宇宙时代的影响，包括作为保卫者满足元宇宙中基础设备、设施的散热技术需求；更为沉浸式的体感，如冷热和湿度的肤感体验，需要制冷技术提供。不止于此，元宇宙与制冷的融合仍有无限可能。 |

| Abstract: |
| Since the concept of "metaverse" was introduced, it has rapidly become popular in the development plans of national and international governments, local governments, enterprises, experts, scholars, and related researchers. The refrigeration industry is facing development opportunities and challenges in this new area. Thus, there is an urgent need to pave the way for relevant theoretical knowledge and technical updates.
This paper presents a review on the background of big data and the relationship between big data and refrigeration in terms of two aspects: the impact of the big data era on the field of refrigeration and the impact of refrigeration technology on the big data era. Big data generates development opportunities in the refrigeration field. In this study, the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry is taken as an example, and the applications of big-data-related technologies for optimizing air-conditioning systems and the digital operation of air-conditioning enterprises are introduced. Refrigeration technology has benefitted from the rapid growth of big data technologies. This study introduces the important role played by refrigeration technology in the construction of cooling systems in data centers of the upstream industry and in solving the heat dissipation problems of downstream terminal products. The analysis provides a reference for understanding the relationship between the metaverse and refrigeration technology.
The accumulative power behind the rise of the metaverse era, including boosting force, domestic and foreign layouts, and a better vision, are investigated. Second, the risks in the development process of the metaverse, including computing power risks, addiction risks, ethical issues, intellectual property issues, economic risks, industrial hegemony, and other prominent risks, are objectively analyzed. Opportunities and challenges coexist, which is the distinctive development background of the metaverse era.
Finally, this study focuses on the relationship between the metaverse and refrigeration. The metaverse leads to new advancements in the refrigeration field, including a massive demand for refrigeration equipment and a high number of professionals inspired by the large metaverse ecology. Because the metaverse world can provide immersive teaching and vocational training, learning from the “Internet plus” and “Metaverse plus” allows for a transformation and upgrade from physical interactions to “virtual–real” interactions. The influence of refrigeration technology on the era of the metaverse includes meeting the cooling needs for infrastructure and facilities that run the metaverse. More immersive somatosensory experiences, such as skin sensations of heat, cold, and humidity, are enabled by refrigeration technology. Furthermore, infinite possibilities exist for the fusion of the metaverse and refrigeration. |
