The necessity of a higher data processing speed was crucial for the advances in computer science. There were created processors that needed increasingly more power, so that new methods were discovered and more complex systems were created in order to solve the cooling issue. In this paper, there are presented the trials performed on a mini refrigeration plant that used mechanical compression of Freon’s, designed to cool electronic components like microprocessors, microcontrollers, graphic stations, or in the case of local cooling in diverse areas such as bioengineering, optics and nanotechnologies. The refrigeration system was constructed as an experimental set-up and consists of the following: two mini heat exchangers, working both as a condenser and a vaporizer, which are made of circular micro channels, a refrigeration compressor, lamination valve which contains a circular nano channel and a micro filter. The experimental determinations have proven that, although such a system contains a small quantity of Freon, of the order of milligrams, it reaches temperatures of -44 °C.
