Hygroscopic films integrated with the fin structure: a long-term cooling solution for fin heat exchangers
Innovative DRF films combine sodium alginate-CaCl 2 /PVA for dual desorption-radiation cooling, achieving 9 °C steady-state cooling and 18% heat transfer boost. The system maintains 96% efficiency after cycles and reduces PV temperature by 3.5 °C.
