Traditional air conditioning systems

• Introduction

In our modern age, cooling systems are a must in every house and working. The most common cooling systems are Air conditioning devices which are gas compression based systems. In other words, the traditional cooling systems use chemical refrigerants in order to cool the space or interior of a building. Using a regular AC may seem the right thing for cooling and that is why most people don’t think about the other cooling system that may benefit them. In fact, traditional air conditioners have plenty of challenges and setbacks that if properly studied, one will realize that an alternative cooling system must be developed.

• Drawbacks and problems of Traditional Air Conditioners

Below describe some of the main problems with standard air conditioners:

• Traditional ACs require regular maintenance which can be sometimes costly.
• Traditional ACs have a relatively low-efficiency rate.
• Chemicals and refrigerant leaks are common in using a traditional AC which could be harmful to the environment.
• The fact that with regular ACs is that for cooling the interior of the building, hot air has to be blown outside. This heat causes the outside space to heat up and therefore makes the global warming situation even worse.
• If a user forgets to turn off the AC before leaving the house, this may lead to huge energy consumption and a high electricity bill.

 

• Things to look for when choosing a new air conditioning technology

Here are some important factors to keep in mind about choosing a better alternative air conditioning solution:

• The alternative solution must have a better efficiency rate
• The new air conditioning system must be environmentally friendly.
• The managing of the cooling process must be relatively simple.
• The maintenance cost of the new air conditioning technology must be lower compared to others.

Types of new air conditioning technologies

• Cooling Heat Pump

A cooling heat pump is a unique pump that cools the interior of buildings without using any chemical refrigerants in order to not harm the environment. In this technology, instead of using chemical refrigerants, the cooling heat pump uses electrocaloric, solid-state technology that provides greater efficiency which is estimated to be 25 percent more efficient than standard traditional cooling systems. On top of all of that, the cooling heat pump has the following advantages:

• Takes up less space
• Is relatively quieter
• Has fewer mechanical parts

In other words, the system is reliable and has a lower maintenance cost. Because of the above features, a cooling heat pump is regarded as one of the best cooling systems that one could use.

• Magnetic Air Conditioner

A magnet air conditioner, also known as a Magnetocaloric air conditioner, is a cooling system that uses magnetic materials that cool up and heat up whenever a magnetic field is removed and applied. When the magnetic field is removed, the material cools down and when the magnetic field is on the material heats up. The magnetic air conditioners may help us keep our homes cooler inside without heating up the outside environment. On top of that, a magnetic air conditioner has the potential of having an increase in the energy efficiency of up to 30 percent which makes it not only environmentally friendly but also relatively cheaper in the long run.

• Smart Thermostat

By using a smart thermostat, managing an air conditioner couldn’t be any easier because the user can program the AC in order to have the household on the proper temperature as well as the preferred cooling schedule. A smart thermostat provides many options and everything is easily adjustable whether you are at home or outside heading to your home. Using a smart thermostat has been proven to be a money-saving solution for those who always end up with a high electricity bill every time they use their air conditioner.

• Personal Cooling Cloud

A personal cooling cloud is one of the most if not the most innovative air conditioning systems ever developed. This new air conditioner is called cloud cast and targets exactly the space that a person occupies and cools that area. Therefore, instead of cooling the entire place, a cloud cast will only cool specific places and areas which are occupied. This system makes it extremely efficient and provides less electricity consumption. The way that this innovative system works is by detecting the presence and movement of a person using powerful sensors that are inside of aluminum rods that are installed in the ceiling of a building; these rods produce cold air in order to keep the person comfortable.

• Membrane-Based Air Conditioner

A membrane-based air conditioner is an innovative cooling system that is mounted on the roof of a building. This new cooling system utilizes a membrane-based set up in order to take advantage of the cooling properties of water. This air conditioner allows the cooling of spaces without the need for using chemical refrigerants which could be harmful to the environment. In addition, this new system offers control and comfort over the cooling process while saving a significant amount of money due to the fact that this membrane-based air conditioner provides between 30 percent and 50 percent reduction in energy usage.

Conclusion

It is estimated that globally 15 percent of energy consumption is on refrigerating and air conditioning; therefore, using an alternative solution which helps reducing the energy consumption while increasing the efficiency would be extremely beneficial. Using one of the mentioned innovative air conditioning systems is a huge step forward for providing a more efficient and cheaper AC system while safeguarding the environment as well.
