Solar Air ConditionersThe quest for building green, environmental friendly, Air Conditioners is getting more serious every day. When the temperature soars so does the power consumption of an AC and the electricity bill. The AC manufacturers have been introducing new features to minimize the energy consumption. We have already seen energy efficient Samsung, Voltas and LG Air Conditioners. But how about having an option to do away with electricity requirement altogether? It would save huge amount of resources if we could have an AC that doesn't require electricity to operate. An US based company named Chromasun is planning just that - a solar powered Air Conditioner. Chromasun plans to launch solar powered Air Conditioners in the US market in 2010. The solar AC will use the concentration of solar power technology to fuel the cooling operation. This new revolutionary cooling device could save upto 90% of peak electricity usage. It's smart to use the problem itself as part of the solution. The very heat that we want to fight will power the Air Conditioner that will cool the temperature down. |
