Mexico. A cooling system was developed by students of the Autonomous University of Yucatan (Uady), which aims to take advantage of the heat existing in the environment to cool the interior of a place without the need for electrical energy since it uses the phenomenon of evapotranspiration.
The project is known as EVA and at the moment it is in the testing phase to later finish developing and reach its commercialization. Those in charge of the project are the students Cristina González López, Roberto Ortiz Fernández and Raziel Cachón Herrera, who also have the support of the Scientific Research Center of Yucatan (Cicy).
"The goal is to cool without electric current, through an intelligent material that allows to remove the heat from a body that is desired, to cool it. The goal for the functional prototype that will be ready in September is to reach 12 degrees," said Roberto Ortiz, in statements published by sipse.com
For his part, Raziel Chacón said that "it works like the skin and plants, it is a closed system, with a membrane and when the sun enters, it makes a gas flow, a liquid in this case and the vapor that is generated from this heating comes out and what the membrane does is prevent the heat from returning, for example if outside there is a temperature of 40 degrees, in this way inside EVA there could be up to 10 degrees," Raziel explained.
Prior to the project, the developers conducted a survey with 47 using cooling systems. The results showed that 40% of the total operating expenses of the companies are due to the use of energy consumption by cooling.
