Electrospun Radiative Cooling Textile - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052525 titled 'Electrospun Radiative Cooling Textile
Simplified Explanation
The radiative cooling apparatus described in the patent application includes a layer of material that reflects incoming electromagnetic radiation in the solar spectrum and emits thermally-generated electromagnetic emission in the mid-infrared wavelengths.
- The layer of material is designed to reflect incoming solar radiation and emit mid-infrared radiation, resulting in a cooling effect without the need for electricity consumption.
- The use of ceramics in the layer enhances the cooling effect, providing energy savings for air conditioning systems in buildings.
---
- Potential Applications
- Energy-efficient cooling systems for buildings
- Sustainable cooling solutions for hot climates
- Problems Solved
- Reducing electricity consumption for cooling buildings
- Providing a passive cooling solution without the need for power
- Benefits
- Energy savings
- Environmentally friendly cooling technology
- Improved comfort in buildings without relying on traditional air conditioning systems
Original Abstract Submitted
a radiative cooling apparatus including a layer of a material. the layer defines an exterior face. the material has a composition such that the layer is configured to reflect, at the exterior face, at least partly of the incoming electromagnetic radiation of at least some wavelengths in the solar spectrum. the layer is further configured to emit thermally-generated electromagnetic emission of at least some mid-infrared wavelengths out from the exterior face. ceramics provided by embodiments of the invention could produce extra cooling effect without any electricity consumption, creating a prominent benefit to the energy saving of air conditioning systems of buildings.
