摘要

Abstract

Active temperature control devices are widely used for the thermal management of enclosures

including vehicles and buildings. Passive radiative cooling has been extensively studied; however

its integration with existing actively temperature regulated and decorative enclosures has slipped out of the research at status quo. Here

we present a photonic-engineered dual-side thermal management strategy for reducing the active power consumption of the existing temperature-regulated enclosure without sacrificing its aesthetics. By coating the exterior and interior of the enclosure roof with two visible-transparent films with distinctive wavelength-selectivity

simultaneous control over the energy exchange among the enclosure with the hot sun

the cold outer space

the atmosphere

and the active cooler can be implemented. A power-saving of up to 63% for active coolers of the enclosure is experimentally demonstrated by measuring the heat flux compared to the ordinary enclosure when the set temperature is around 26℃. This photonic-engineered dual-side thermal management strategy offers facile integration with the existing enclosures and represents a new paradigm toward carbon neutrality.
