Perfect Sense With A Solar Powered Air Conditioner
Have you ever wished that you could turn hot air into cold in the middle of the summer? Well, now you can do just that. With a solar powered air conditioner you can. It makes perfect sense really, you can turn something that is causing you discomfort into something pleasant.
At the same time you can help the environment by cutting down your consumption of energy. It can be so easy to forget about the damage our personal actions have on the big picture. Now you don't have to feel guilty about cranking up the air conditioner in those sweltering July and August months.
Old Idea
The idea for a solar powered air conditioner comes from old coolers used in factories and plants. These coolers absorbed heat and used the energy from the heat to produce cold air and chill the rooms. More efficient coolers replaced these machines. Now the technology is being revived and improved to produce solar powered air conditioners.
The idea was actually first-born in Japan where the first direct absorption machines were built in the 60's. Since then other companies have seized on the idea and have built solar powered air conditioners that also run on other energy sources such as gas, steam, oil, hot water and exhaust. Never once using electricity.
Traditional air conditioners use mechanical energy and this is where a need for electricity comes in. By eliminating the mechanical part these air conditioners can run smoothly without the aid of electricity.
Cost Saving
Any solar powered air conditioner you use will be efficient and cost saving. Although definitely handy in a home environment these machines would be perfect for office settings. Offices often consume huge amounts of electricity running many appliances and keeping buildings ventilated.
With a solar powered air conditioner system you can save a lot of money in the summer months. It's also attractive to customers when a company is trying to go green. If you are struggling to cut costs then this could very well be the answer.
In a residential home where there is a need for more than one air conditioning unit this could also help to cut down on the energy bill. It can be risky to invest in new technology but as pointed out this is not really a new idea. It's just been repackaged and improved. You don't stand to lose anything, quite the opposite in fact.
