Refrigeration is the process of cooling things, like food and drinks. It helps keep them from getting spoiled or bad.

When people think about refrigeration, they often think about fridges in their homes or restaurants that keep ice cream cold on a hot summer day. In reality, refrigeration isn't just for keeping things cold – it's also used in many other ways, like in air conditioners to cool down entire rooms, or in medical facilities to store medicines and vaccines at very low temperatures. Some people even use portable refrigerators to keep their drinks cool while they're on the go.
