Ok I am sure that many of you have a Lot of questions regarding this particular topic so let us begin by clarifying just exactly what is a solar powered air conditioner. Solar Air Conditioners in a nutshell are the most recent technology version of the swamp cooler only far more advanced. Long ago habitancy in the southern tier states of the Us learned that by passing water over a fan blown radiator they could take advantage of what we know to be "Evaporative Cooling", which is the same principle that was used in earlier processes of refrigeration. When water evaporates from any covering that covering will in supervene become much cooler than the surrounding ambient air temperature.
Now that we understand the basic principle of volatile cooling we can move forward to the an in depth explanation of how and why a solar powered air conditioning unit works and its cost benefits. These systems use practically 4 gallons of water per hour depending upon just how hot the ambient air temperatures are because the more evaporation that takes place the cooler these systems operate. Considering that ambient temperatures or more to the point the covering temperatures do easily all of the work of cooling the air in the conditioning unit and the water used also humidifies the air capability the end supervene is what we call 'Comfort Air".

Benefits to this theory are numerous and will have a deep impact upon air conditioning systems and how we cool our homes and offices for decades to come. The first advantage I would like to mention is the fact that these systems wish easily No chemical refrigerants as it is the volatile Cooling that does nearly all the work of cooling the air in your home or place of business. Secondly, because they apply water as a thermal medium the air that is pumped through your air ducts is at the exquisite relax level with regards to humidity especially in arid climates. The most impressive advantage to these systems is the because all of the cooling work is being done by evaporation the over all energy required by the whole theory is 90% Less than that of a conventional air conditioning system! Yes you read that correctly! I said 90 percent Less! An median conventional air conditioner for your home requires practically 6000 watts of power to function per hour while these systems will operate at full capacity on a mere 600 watts.
Just to put all of that into perspective with an example you can probably describe too let us think the thorough hand held blow dryer that most women use on their hair. These will use up to 1800 watts if you have one of the newer models with the complicated fan settings, and the C60 solar powered air conditioner that our business sells, installs and services will operate on 1/3 of that energy.
Up until this point I have been informing you on all the theory of the volatile cooling and power requirements of this theory and you are probably wondering, "Ok, well what about the whole Solar part of this system"? Given that our power requirement to operate these systems is so low we can very easily employ 4 - 200 watt solar modules which will furnish all the power this whole theory will ever need!
Now I will come full circle and explain the final part of this astounding theory and why it is prominent to use the solar choice with it. All air conditioners furnish exhaust air and although the air coming out of a conventional theory is always hot, the air which is exhausted from this new technology is very cool. Solar panels which are generating the power that feed these systems will originate far more power at cooler temperatures below 150F. However, those of us who easily work with solar panel systems already know that if left to their own in the suns heat of the day they can get much hotter than this 150F range thus reducing their power production capability by as much as 15%.
So here is what I recommend. Utilizing duct work from the exhaust port of the air conditioning unit we direct this cool exhaust air to a plenum that is fitted over the whole covering area of the back side of the solar panel array thus keeping the panels which are generating the operational power to the air conditioner much cooler in the suns heat which provides you with an additional 15% of energy generation capacity from your solar array.
So lets recap! Zero chemical refrigerants, the capability to be powered 100% by solar, cool comfortable air in your home or office, and the hotter the temperatures get the more efficient these systems function recovery you hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year on air conditioning costs!
