Coolerado Solar Powered Air Conditioning Demonstrator

[ingesumadre]

how it separates the humidity from the air?

[bykashka75]

i love the word COOLERADO, give you AAA for the name

[7094spanky]

If I'm thinking correctly this would be better for an aired climate verses a more humid costal climate?

[ut2k4wikichici]

Great idea but i dont think it would work in 40-60 degree Australian Summers.

[Tomolowicz]

@ut2k4wikichici - what 40~60C degree summers which part of the country are you located in????

[SweetLyns]

u maybe saving electricity but u r using more water.....it like solving one problem and creating another........is there anyway u can reduce the amount of water this cooling system uses???

[cooleradocorp]

@SweetLyns - This product is net water neutral - which means, it doesn't use anymore water than a traditional ac system would use. To create electricity (for anything) water is used at the power plant. Water creates electricity. Traditional ac units use around 6,000 watts of power, where a Coolerado unit only uses around 600 watts. Thus, it takes a lot more water at the power plant level to power a traditional ac system than it would a Coolerado unit.

@SweetLyns people lacking water in africa or austrailia has nothing to do with water usage here where we have too mutch. however we should be using the mississipi river & the great lakes to recharge the ogalala aquifer, farming is the bigget user of water in this nation

[onetongwa]

@SweetLyns using that much water is a lot cheaper than using electricity

[artbiz45]

can thios work in Texas or humid weather area? thanks for postiong

[phifaces]

@artbiz45 probably work in El Paso, but not Dallas

[dieselplow]

I love this idea - but... Wasting water - is that environmentally friendly? Especially with how expensive water has become in many of our regions? It is possibly in about half of our states to spend more on water than if you just stayed with a high SEER heat pump to start out with. I think you guys are on a great track, and if you removed the continuous flow of water portion of this unit you would have a great selling item.

[dieselplow]

isn't this just a swamp cooler with ducts?

[wheel456]

how much?

[tomyloveu]

do u supply in india i know its wired to ask but we need most...

[Nimz1974]

Hi...this is so cool :)...I am from Sri Lanka....will it work in our climate...what about for homes?

[CarluvrSD]

I'm very interested. I can't find anything about pricing though.

[kinghilton]

what happen at night. here in sydney it can get really hot here

[starletto]

use more panels and add batteries or just run it on grid power at night.

[Tomolowicz]

@starletto - It would have to have an automated switch over to grid power once the computer knows that the fan speed is to slow to keep the ambient temps at the desired levels. It's actually not a bad idea fitting additional panels for the A/C unit even if you have a larger 3kW+ Solar PV grid system...

[NSResponder]

Is anyone selling this system in the middle east? Seems like an ideal market.

[fridgeometer]

Nicely done. I'd guess you might have trouble uniformly cooling the solar panels with the exhause air. Clearly a step up from a standard single stage evaporative cooler design. Thanks! Price, CFM?

[Darkblend]

AKA Swamp cooler look it up!!!! ITS VEY OLD NEWS... he just added 40 batteries and 4 over priced solar pannels....

[UnitedElectric]

Not a swamp cooler. Go back to your rock and lie for a nap under it. This a new thermodynamic cycle. I know thermodynamics and this is the real deal. Cooling aproaches dew point. Can't do that with an evap unit.

[NSResponder]

This isn't just a swamp cooler. Go to their web site and learn about it.

[killerbug881]

Cool ideal, It is very interesting , we're looks and see how it work in the future, maybe the function is simple, as long as it can save a lot of energy , then it is good.

[jamesneil1975]

I read from your web site literature that your Coolerado HMX only system may be appropriate as a pre-cooler and for many industrial applications, but it would not be appropriate for comfort cooling in residential or commercial applications

without supplemental cooling and/or dehumidification for countries which were shaded gray in your HMX world performance table using ASHRAE Standards. Manila is moderate-to-highly humid. How can your technology become a solution in our region?

Regards.

Can you say! Legionnaires' disease: A severe respiratory disease which is caused by the Legionella pneumophila bacteria. dont worry guys its not your fault its just a strong possibility when you are dealing with standing water, and eventually it will sit and get yucky! real yucky.

[mcashlv]

This is nothing but an expensive evaporative cooler. It works ok, but won't keep you cool at 110 degrees outside. And only works in very low humidity.

[NSResponder]

You know not whereof you speak. Check out their web site. It's a substantially improved evaporative cooler.

[cooleradocorp]

Hi-

Thanks for your comment. Coolerado air conditioners do indeed work best in regions where the humidity is comfortable because they do rely on principles of evaporation for cooling but thats the only thing they have in common with an evaporative (swamp) cooler. Coolerado air conditioners do not add any humidity to the air that enters the building, AND they cool to much lower temperatures than a swamp cooler can.

(comment cont. below)

[cooleradocorp]

Coolerado air conditioners are perfect for comfort cooling in climates with comfortable summer humidity (like the 11 western United States).Yesterday I was at a house in Phoenix, and at 113 degrees, the owner was raving about how cool and comfortable it was keeping his house. One tenth the power, net water neutral, more comfortable than anything theyve experienced before whats not to like!

If you want more information, call me at 303-375-0878 and ask for Tom.

Thanks!

[asparthi]

@cooleradocorp can we use the water [hardwater] which comes from RO system....!

[KarasCyborg]

@cooleradocorp Phoenix has low Humidity most of the year. What about the rest of AZ during the Monsoons when humidity is high? What about the hard water deposits, will they load up the plastic until they don't work? What is the average cost of a system for a 2500 sq ft house? You can get a swamp cooler for $700. You can get a 3 ton 16 SEER AC for $1500. Whats the price on these units ballpark. When comparing energy usage, why not compare against swamp cooler instead of A/C?

[JFO328]

this would work great in Coolerado, Noo Mexico, Arizoona or Noobraska.

How about a hoomid day in Sooth Caroloona

[phifaces]

@JFO328 hoo hoo

[carmatic]

suggestion.... use the heat trapped inside the solar cells to run a dessicant system which dehumidifies the air going in the building... is that feasible?

[GetMeThere1]

This is GREAT! Why aren't you sold out of these things?!?! I would think everybody would want one.

[pwneet]

Very "cool" idea!

[2sk21]

Very clever idea!
