The cooling material is a very thin board with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels(太阳能电池板).However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns into infrared radiation(红外辐射).
Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand and they act like a mirror, taking heat out of buildings and reflecting(反射)the light from the sun. He also says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space.
It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input, ever under the sun. So, what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun. And the result is that the roof will have a temperature below surrounding air temperature by a large amount.
The panels are cool to the touch, even in the sun. Researchers say they can diminish the indoor temperature.
Mr.Fan says it is like having a window into space. He says the heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.
He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels.
The Stanford researchers described their technology in the science publication Nature. They say the main problem is creating real cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray (喷雾) that could be used on existing solid structures. The researchers believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.
