   Thermoelectric junctions are typically around 10% as efficient as the ideal Carnot cycle refrigerator, compared with 40% achieved by conventional compression cycle systems. Synthetic jet air cooling A synthetic jet is produced by a continual flow of vortices that are formed by alternating brief ejection and suction of air across an opening such ...

5. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   Air conditioners, which typically use vapor-compression refrigeration, range in size from small units used in vehicles or single rooms to massive units that can cool large buildings. [6] Air source heat pumps , which can be used for heating as well as cooling , are becoming increasingly common in cooler climates.

6. Evaporative cooler - Wikipedia
