Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 210601 (2006) [4 pages]Brownian RefrigeratorReceived 6 February 2006; published 1 June 2006 Onsager symmetry implies that a Brownian motor, driven by a temperature gradient, will also perform a refrigerator function upon loading. We analytically calculate the corresponding heat flow for an exactly solvable microscopic model and compare it with molecular dynamics simulations. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
