IIT德里的新混合空调公司利用基于盐的湿度清除和废热再生,将冷却能源的使用削减高达41.5%。 IIT Delhi's new hybrid AC cuts cooling energy use by up to 41.5% using salt-based moisture removal and waste heat regeneration.

德里国际信息技术研究所的研究人员开发了一种混合空调,可以把与冷却有关的电力用量减少高达41.5%,早期试验显示,这种用量持续减少三分之一。 Researchers at IIT Delhi have developed a hybrid air conditioner that could cut cooling-related electricity use by up to 41.5%, with early tests showing a consistent one-third reduction. 该系统将传统冷却与液化干燥结合起来,使用盐溶液从进入的空气中去除水分,减少能源密集型过度冷却的需求。 The system combines traditional cooling with a liquid desiccant using a salt solution to remove moisture from incoming air, reducing the need for energy-intensive overcooling. 聚合膜阻止盐进入室内空气,而空调冷凝器的废热又使干燥物再生,从而不再需要额外的加热器。 A polymer membrane prevents salt from entering indoor air, while waste heat from the AC’s condenser regenerates the desiccant, eliminating the need for extra heaters. 这项技术在实验室条件下进行测试,并在《建筑工程杂志》中详细介绍,旨在解决印度不断增长的冷却需求,这种需求可能比2037-38年增加三倍,同时降低能源开支和排放。 The technology, tested in lab conditions and detailed in the Journal of Building Engineering, aims to address India’s rising cooling demand, which could triple by 2037–38, while lowering energy bills and emissions.
