Final Development of a Zero Energy Dehumidification and Cooling System

大多数现代建筑冷却系统消耗大量电力，推动了建筑内的能源消耗率。随着人口的增长、中产阶级的崛起和全球变暖，空调的能源负担将会增加。freerrunning建筑（FRB）有限公司和谢菲尔德大学的先进制造研究中心（AMRC）将进行合作开发活动，以完成FREECOOL的制造设计，这是一种带有主动冷却系统的零能耗被动通风，结合了两项新专利创新（专利申请中；GB1321709.6和pct /GB2016/051081）。FREECOOL可以在不需要电源的情况下将进入的空气温度降低15摄氏度，并去除湿度。合作团队将完成关键部件的设计，以减轻重量，并实现扁平包装和模块化结构。现场试验将证明FREECOOL降低建筑能耗的能力。对于FRB来说，该项目将产生一个市场就绪的系统，可以出售，为公司扩张和进一步研发创造收入。对于AMRC来说，它使其与工业的联系多样化，并支持它在高价值制造业弹射器中的地位。

Most modern building cooling systems consume high levels of electrical power, driving energy consumption rates inbuildings. The energy burden from AC will rise with growing populations, emerging middle classes, & global warming. FreeRunning Buildings (FRB) Ltd & the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield willundertake collaborative development activities to finalise design for manufacture of FREECOOL, a zero-energy passiveventilation with active cooling system, incorporating two newly patented innovations (patent pending; GB1321709.6 &PCT/GB2016/051081). FREECOOL can lower incoming air temperature by 15 degrees C and remove humidity with norequirement for power. The collaborative team will finalise design of key components to reduce weight, and enable flat packshipping and modular construction. Field trials will demonstrate the ability of FREECOOL to reduce energy consumption inbuilding. For FRB, the project will generate a market-ready system that can be sold to generate revenue for companyexpansion and further R&D. For AMRC, it diversifies its links to industry & supports it's position within the High ValueManufacturing Catapult.
