New Water-Cooling Solar Panels Could Lower the Cost of Air Conditioning by 20%. Service, R. F. Science, 2017. doi abstract bibtex [Excerpt] Most of us have heard of solar water heaters. Now there's a solar water cooler, and the technology may sharply lower the cost of industrial-scale air conditioning and refrigeration. [...] Researchers at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, recently placed three water cooling panels – each 0.37 square meters – atop a building on campus and circulated water through them at a rate of 0.2 liters every minute. They report today in Nature Energy that their setup cooled the water as much as 5°C below the ambient temperature over 3 days of testing. They then modeled how their panels would behave if integrated into a typical air conditioning unit for a two-story building in Las Vegas, Nevada. The results: Their setup would lower the building's air conditioning electrical demand by 21\,% over the summer. [...]
