We’ve developed a passive cooling panel that improves the efficiency of any air conditioning or refrigeration system. We apply a Dual-Mode film to the top surface of each panel. The film reflects sunlight to prevent the panels from heating up during the day and also emits infrared heat to the cold sky, which keeps the panels and any fluid flowing in them cool 24/7/365. A fluid is pumped through each panel. The panels’ temperature can drop by up to 15°F below the ambient temperature with zero electricity input.
SkyCool’s panels can be used as an add-on to air conditioning and refrigeration systems. In some circumstances, our panels can even replace an air conditioning unit.
As an add-on, our panel system will yield between a 10% to 40% efficiency improvement depending on the integration mode. When fully replacing an air conditioning system, we expect an 80% to 90% energy reduction for cooling.
