Extending the operation of a solar air collector to night-time by integrating radiative sky cooling: A comparative experimental study (2022)
Journal Article
Hu, M., Zhao, B., Suhendri, Cao, J., Wang, Q., Riffat, S., Su, Y., & Pei, G. (2022). Extending the operation of a solar air collector to night-time by integrating radiative sky cooling: A comparative experimental study. Energy, 251, Article 123986. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2022.123986

Solar thermal collectors are generally unproductivity at night without sunlight. Radiative cooling, on the other hand, is another renewable technology harvesting coldness from extraterrestrial space and can effectively work nocturnally. Therefore, th...
