A simple, cheap and effective glass coating for selective solar transmittance and radiative cooling applications
Source abstract
Abstract
A cheap, simple, and scalable method for producing transparent radiative coolers (TRC) is introduced in this paper. A prototype of the TRC is fabricated that transmits the visible band of sunlight, highly reflects the near infrared spectrum , and selectively emit/absorb mid-IR in the atmospheric transparency window (AW). An outdoor experimental test for comparison is conducted. The experimental setup consists of two boxes with an illuminometer and a thermometer. One of the boxes has conventional soda lime, and the other has modified glass. The results show that the fabricated structure can reduce temperature as much as 21 . 97 ° C and also control the visible intensity of the sunlight by a factor of 4 to prevent glaring in daylighting of buildings, especially in hot climate regions. In the end, a comparison of the present work and similar experiments is provided.
