Solar Powered Air Conditioning By Means of Natural Cool Air
Interesting Stuff
The Alternative Fuels and Energy has developed the Sun Lizard to revolutionalise the reliance on traditional air conditioning and heating unit or even the existing solar thermal driven water cooled process by means of natural cool air of your building and can reduce the need for air-conditioning. Check it out how it works miraculously in summer and winter.
Summer Season
In summer, The Solar Lizard uses a photovoltaic panel to collect solar energy to power a series of fans which draw fresh air to enter the house from vents which are placed at ground level.
Winter Season
In winter, there is a switch mode to activate a box that is located on the roof . The box is covered by a sheet of low-iron glass that allows for maximum clarity so ample sun is able to enter the box and heat the steel baffles there. The system then feeds the heated air back into the house via ducting and again at ground level to warm rooms. The air is continually circulating and reheating up to 50°C. This all works without any connection to the power grid.
One unit is able to heat and cool an area of 100 square meter and up to 10 C° cooler in summer and 4 to 6 C° warmer in winter.
The is indeed a fantastic idea since higher solar loads provide higher cooling than conventional air conditioning which cooling effect is dropping when the weather gets hotter and humid. The sooner the product is commercialized, the sooner the consumers use no electricity but get power only from the sun.
