Food and drink preservation, air conditioning have been mentioned. Also in medicine and veterinary science to preserve organic matter. In electrical engineering for example super conducting magnets. Low temperature may be important in separating gases by liquefaction and distillation eg air separation and separation of light hydrocarbons. It may also be necessary to liquefy gases to reduce the space that they occupy for transportation. For example liquefied natural gas occupies about one six hundredth of the volume of gaseous material.

One that has not been listed, but is very common is for heating homes. It's called a heat pump. But in reality it is a refrigeration cycle in reverse. It is very effective in areas where there are mild winters.
