- Achieving a major breakthrough in the field of energy conservation, scientists in Saudi Arabia have developed a cooling system capable of providing cooling without the use of electricity.
- This innovative technology has been developed by researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
- This new system has been named "NESCOD," which stands for "No Electricity and Sustainable Cooling On Demand."
- This technology differs completely from traditional air conditioning systems, as it requires neither a compressor nor a continuous power supply.
- NESCOD generates cooling through a chemical reaction, making it an eco-friendly and energy-efficient alternative.
- The system operates on the principle of "endothermic dissolution." In this process, certain substances absorb ambient heat while dissolving in water, thereby lowering the temperature.
- In NESCOD, ammonium nitrate is mixed with water, resulting in the rapid generation of cooling.
- Another key feature of the system is that it utilizes solar energy to evaporate the water and regenerate the used salt, making it reusable.
- For this reason, the technology is capable of generating cooling repeatedly without incurring any additional energy costs.
- According to experts, this invention could prove to be an effective solution for addressing future energy crises and rising temperatures.
