Evaporative Cooling Without Electricity

Scientists cooled water without electricity by sending excess heat where it won t be noticed space.

Evaporative cooling without electricity.

The heat just flows explained fan who is senior author of the paper. Evaporative cooling is limited by the current wet bulb temperature. No matter how much liquid evaporates or how fast it evaporates the minimum temperature that can be reached by direct evaporation is the wet bulb temperature. Methods of alternative refrigeration passive cooling.

The specialized optical surfaces they developed are a major step toward applying this. A wet bulb temperature is an indication of the amount of water vapor relative humidity in the air. For this reason the amount of heat flow off the earth that goes to the universe is enormous. Several hot and dry regions throughout the world could potentially benefit from evaporative cooling including north africa the sahel region of africa the horn of africa southern africa the middle east arid regions of south asia and australia.

The system cools water flowing through pipes connected to an air conditioning system without requiring electricity by radiating excess heat from water into cold space. If you have something that is very cold like space and you can dissipate heat into it then you can do cooling without any electricity or work. Panels covered in specialized optical surfaces reflect about 97 percent of the sunlight while simultaneously emitting the surface s thermal energy through the atmosphere.
