Roof-mounted heat rejection panels, produced by California-based SkyCool Systems Inc., provide pre-cooling for #CO2 (R744) refrigeration systems to cut transcritical operation during high ambient temperature conditions, said company Co-Founder and CTO Eli Goldstein. According to Goldstein, an optical film on the panel ‒ developed by Stanford University and vetted by the U.S. Department of Energy ‒ reflects solar energy and emits heat in the form of infrared light back into space. A closed water/glycol loop connects the panels to the refrigeration system via a heat exchanger. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gdKUFAxK #GoNatRefs #NaturalRefrigerants #FMIConference #TranscriticalCO2 Sign up to our NaturalRefrigerants.com weekly newsletter https://lnkd.in/dBj2FWvR

Sending our heat into space to improve air conditioning systems. ❄️ Even crazier, using the coldness of the universe to generate electrical power! This is not science fiction, this is already being implemented in some places in the United Stated, by a startup named SkyCool Systems Inc. Amazing idea here at the Optica Advanced Photonics Congress. Prof Shanhui Fan explained to the attendees how his research group improved air conditioning efficiency by creating special materials that can radiate heat out of the atmosphere, into space 🌌. This PASSIVELY creates a temperature difference (thermal gradient) between ambient and the panel. And since any thermal gradient can be used to generate power, they have also - on a small scale - generated electricity by sending heat to the universe💡. With this, we can imagine a world where we can produce energy from the sky at night, a critical limitation for the clean energy transition. #Optica #CleanEnergy #ScienceIsAwesome #Photonics

SkyCool Systems Inc. recently completed an important pilot in Phoenix Arizona. We set out to demonstrate the life saving potential of CoolerthanAir™️ materials in one of the largest populations at risk from extreme heat, mobile and manufactured home owners. Huge thanks to the home owners who worked with us to make this happen and to the SkyCool team for braving the extreme heat! We'll be publishing a deeper dive on the process and results in the coming months. In the mean time, here is some of the press attention that is helping us build awareness with policy makers and local governments. https://lnkd.in/gbk2bvmf

If anyone wants to pilot a passive cooling solution this summer, send me a note. We are here to help. SkyCool 1) prevents buildings from overheating, 2) cools cities by keeping roofs cooler than the ambient air temperature and 3) literally cools our planet by emitting heat out of the atmosphere. Let's stop talking and start doing. https://lnkd.in/g4uWKCdc
