Publication number: 20120234033Abstract: A window for cooling an environment including first and second panes disposed opposite from one another; a frame coupled to the first and second panes forms an air gap between the first pane, the second pane, and the frame; and first and second reflective coatings disposed on first surfaces of the first and second panes. The first surfaces face the air gap, and the reflective coatings are configured to reflect infrared radiation into the air gap to generate heat. The window further includes first and second antireflective coatings respectively disposed on second surfaces of the first and second panes. The second surfaces face away from the air gap, and the antireflective coatings are configured to transmit radiation into the air gap. The window further includes an adsorption-cooling systems configured to collect heat from the air gap to cool air in an environment adjacent to the second pane.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2011Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: SolarPath, Inc.Inventors: Narinder Singh Kapany, Mark A.
