Low cost, low energy cooling system shows potential
Team has developed roof-top sized array, built from highly reflective material.
(Web Desk) - Researchers in the US have scaled up a new low-cost system that could provide efficient cooling for homes while using very little electricity.
The team has developed a roof-top sized array, built from a highly reflective material made from glass and polymers.
In tests, the system kept water around 10C cooler than the ambient air when exposed to midday sunlight in summer.
