Superconductor Technology
Aerospace Technology to your home
Also referred to as “Heat-Pipe” cooling system.
This technology has been used for many years in Aviation, Aerospace and the Military industries.
HOW IT WORKS
Fans draw cool air in through the bottom which forms airflow through the back cover and middle sides, then absorbs the heat released from the heat pipe as it moves through and turns to warm air, the warm air will exit in the top of the system.
At the same time, the refrigerant in the heat pipe will change from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
This is a patented technology!
Advantage
Cooling capacity is similar to that of a compressor system at a lower cost and without use of a compressor.
Quiet operating system.
Heat-releasing efficiency is better than 20% of a compressor system.
Uses the same environmental friendly refrigerant (R134a) as a compressor system.
Additional Information
Heat-releasing is one of the most significant factors that affects the cooling effect to a refrigerator.
The common thermoelectric type refrigerator releases the heat through an aluminum sheet and the inside fan. The entire cooling process does not use refrigerant or phase transformation phenomenon.
The compressor type fridge reaches low temperatures by making use of the phase transformation phenomenon. The liquid refrigerant turns into gas through the compressor. During this process, the heat is taken away by the gas so that the fridge can keep the temperature low. As the gaseous refrigerant releases the heat, it becomes liquid again which forms a circulation.
Compared to other common thermoelectric refrigerators, the heat-pipe (Superconductor) refrigerator also releases the heat by the way of phase transformation. Compressor systems compared to heat-pipe refrigerators (Superconductor) does not need a compressor to cause the phase transformation. The released heat works as an impetus while the refrigerator is working. The gaseous refrigerant moves upwards through the heat-pipe and finally becomes liquid again when meeting the cold. Then the liquid re-circulates within the pipe under its gravity and this process forms a circulation within the pipe continually.
It has been proved by practice that the heat transmitted in the phase transformation is much better than that through solid.
