  2. Passive daytime radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_daytime_radiative...

    Integrating PDRCs into solar energy systems is also relatively simple, given that "most solar energy harvesting systems have a sky-facing flat plate structural design, which is similar to radiative cooling systems." Integration has been reported to increase energy gain per unit area while increasing the fraction of the day the cell operates. [14]

  3. Radiative cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

    The Earth-atmosphere system is radiatively cooled, emitting long-wave radiation which balances the absorption of short-wave (visible light) energy from the sun. Convective transport of heat, and evaporative transport of latent heat are both important in removing heat from the surface and distributing it in the atmosphere.

  4. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

    Radiant cooling systems potentially offer reductions in cooling energy consumption. [10] The latent loads (humidity) from occupants, infiltration and processes generally need to be managed by an independent system. Radiant cooling may also be integrated with other energy-efficient strategies such as night time flushing, indirect evaporative ...

  5. Passive cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling

    Passive cooling covers all natural processes and techniques of heat dissipation and modulation without the use of energy. [1] Some authors consider that minor and simple mechanical systems (e.g. pumps and economizers) can be integrated in passive cooling techniques, as long they are used to enhance the effectiveness of the natural cooling process. [7]

  6. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

    This solar chimney draws air through a geothermal heat exchange to provide passive home cooling. [2] [3]Solar chimneys, also called heat chimneys or heat stacks, can also be used in architectural settings to decrease the energy used by mechanical systems (systems that heat and cool the building through mechanical means).

  7. Chilled beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_beam

    A chilled beam is a type of radiation/convection HVAC system designed to heat and cool large buildings through the use of water. [1] This method removes most of the zone sensible local heat gains and allows the flow rate of pre-conditioned air from the air handling unit to be reduced, lowering by 60% to 80% the ducted design airflow rate and the equipment capacity requirements.

  8. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

    A radiator is a device that transfers heat to a medium primarily through thermal radiation.In practice, the term radiator is often applied to any number of devices in which a fluid circulates through exposed pipes (often with fins or other means of increasing surface area), notwithstanding that such devices tend to transfer heat mainly by convection and might logically be called convectors.

  9. Radiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator

    The Roman hypocaust is an early example of a type of radiator for building space heating. Franz San Galli, a Prussian-born Russian businessman living in St. Petersburg, is credited with inventing the heating radiator around 1855, [1] [2] having received a radiator patent in 1857, [3] but American Joseph Nason and Scot Rory Gregor developed a primitive radiator in 1841 [4] and received a number ...
