We, the faculty and staff of ISET, are here to help guide you toward maximizing the range and value of your opportunities during your time in ISET, so that your investment in knowledge can indeed pay the best interest.
Scientists Develop New Electricity-Free Cooling Systems
- Details
Engineers at Buffalo University (NY) have recently designed a new system which will help to cool buildings in a crowded metropolitan city without consuming electricity. The new method is known as radiative or passive cooling because it does not require batteries or other sources of electricity to initiate cooling.
The system consists of alumina films, which are installed at the bottom of a specially designed solar ‘shelters’ which helps the building to keep cool. The system works in the following way: the films help its surrounding to be cool and absorb heat from the air. The films stay cool as the heat dissipates through thermal radiation, and can then cool down the environment. The innovation is made up of environmentally-friendly technology and will be useful for cities which are trying to deal with global warning issues. The system also has the ability to purposefully direct thermal emissions towards the sky rather than spread the emission in all directions.
