Mexico. An evaporative cooler has been developed that has integrated a photovoltaic system isolated from the electricity grid, and that allows it to condition an area of approximately 200 square meters.
This technology works one hundred percent with sunlight and water, which eliminates the need to connect to a conventional electricity source, this leads to reduce the environmental impact generated by the emission of greenhouse gases caused by traditional systems.
This cooling system manufactured from clean energy is powered by water and photovoltaic modules to achieve a daily operation of 12 continuous hours, which aims to eliminate 40% of the total consumption of electrical energy used by companies for their air conditioning.
Víctor Sotelo Armengol, commercial director of the technology's manufacturer, GeckoLogic, explained that before the air cools, it must pass through a water tank, which evaporates and lowers the air temperature by up to 15 degrees.
Although the system requires water to operate, the amount of liquid that is spent is less compared to the environmental damage caused by the refrigerant gases and electricity used by traditional systems.
The performance of the equipment is two thousand square feet for every three liters of water and it is worth mentioning that the technology already has a patent in Mexico and could even work with seawater just by making a series of adjustments.
This evaporative cooler is designed to be used in commercial or industrial sectors of large areas, however, its architecture allows the system to adapt to residential applications.
