Traditional AC and refrigeration techniques can have a negative impact on the environment
This invention improves temperature and humidity control efficiency by utilizing multiple stages of thermally responsive liquids. These liquids are heated into two immiscible phases, each with unique properties. One stage expels water to adjust outdoor humidity, while another absorbs moisture to manage indoor humidity. This sequence aims to achieve lower temperatures and humidities, improving comfort and cooling efficiency. The invention addresses the limitations of traditional AC and refrigeration technologies, which have a high global warming potential. It also aims to overcome the energy inefficiency of current cooling and dehumidifying devices, often limited to a single climate zone due to humidity operating range constraints.
