工程师们已经发明了一种高性能的外部PDRC聚合物涂层,它具有纳米到微尺度的空隙,可作为自发的空气冷却器,并且可以被装配、染色,并且像油漆一样涂在屋顶、建筑物、水箱、车辆甚至航天器上——任何可以涂装的东西。他们使用基于溶液的相反转技术,使聚合物具有多孔泡沫状结构。
An alternative to these energy-intensive cooling methods is passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC), a phenomenon where a surface spontaneously cools by reflecting sunlight and radiating heat to the colder atmosphere. PDRC is most effective if a surface has a high solar reflectance (R) that minimizes solar heat gain, and a high, thermal emittance (Ɛ) that maximizes radiative heat loss to the sky. If R and Ɛ are sufficiently high, a net heat loss can occur, even under sunlight.
