Alternatives to compressor cooling in residences
AbstractAlternatives to compressor-driven air conditioners for cooling residences are reviewed. Methods reviewed include direct and indirect evaporative cooling, desiccant cooling, absorption cooling, natural and induced ventilation, radiative cooling, shading with vegetation, architectural shading, improved glazing, reflective coatings, radiant barriers, sensible and latent heat storage, and earth cooling. Emphasis is given to recent research results, methods for simulating performance, and problems that need to be addressed in future research. A concluding section examines the reasons for the current dominance of compressor technology and identifies research and development needed to make alternative cooling methods more competitive.
