Company Description
Would you like to regulate the temperature with a technology that never breaks, needs no maintenance, does not consume energy and has zero emissions? That is possible thanks to COOLING PHOTONICS.
Product description
A new material able to cool another one by emitting infrared radiation. Results are expected to be used in devices where an increase in temperature has drastic effects on performance, like solar panels and computer systems, among other applications.
The invention deals with the cooling of a surface or device when a hybrid microstructure is applied on its exterior surface. In particular, they have developed and demonstrated a dual functionality micro-structured film which provides both passive radiative cooling and self-cleaning. The approach is adaptable to many devices, and could be integrated directly on a surface requiring cooling and/or as a large area adhesive film on a surface requiring cooling and self-cleaning. This dual functionality is of particular interest for applications such as photovoltaic panels, which need a clean surface and an optimal temperature for maximum performance.
