Improving Heat Recycling With Thermodiffusion Effect
July 24, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Researchers led by M. M. Bou-Ali from the Fluid Mechanics group at Mondragon University and Tecnalia in Spain, have found that the absorption of water vapor within industrial heat recycling devices is directly tied to a physical process known as the thermodiffusion effect. Absorption heat transformers can effectively reuse the waste heat generated in various […]

Chalmers University of Technology scientists have designed a window film with a specially designed molecule could be capable of taking the edge off the worst midday heat and instead distributing it evenly from evening to morning. The molecule has the unique ability to capture energy from the sun’s rays and release it later as heat. […]
