Car air conditioners with Maisotsenko cycle work without refrigerant and are 8 times more efficient

The startup has developed an AC evaporative system that is designed for transport

means and consumes so little energy thatit can be replenished by one small solar panel. The authors used the M-cycle, or the Maisotsenko thermodynamic cycle, which is a way of using the energy potential of directed air movement resulting from the natural process of water evaporation.

Almost all modern automobilesAir conditioners are based on a vapor compression system. They are popular because they do not take up much space, are reliable and have low maintenance requirements. But such a device does not meet current automakers' demands for carbon-neutral devices.

The developers note that such systemsresponsible for 420 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2015. One third of these emissions come from leaking refrigerants such as R134A. The new solution does not use refrigerants. 

The authors of the climate control system said that inAt the heart of their design is a complex system of wet and dry channels, as well as a small fan. It consumes approximately 11 times less water than its analogues, and is compact enough to be used in the production of transport. 

The developers emphasized that their solution is better suited for countries with dry hot air, since the system works more efficiently at low humidity and high temperatures.
