Benefits of technology

[0004]The invention described in this disclosure provides a novel system for using a high water content polymer and its various implementations to provide a means of evaporative cooling and temperature regulation. This invention will provide benefits at much lower initial and ongoing costs than competing solutions and will bring other benefits and extensions inherent in its design and implementation.
[0005]In the preferred embodiment, a polymer is used to retain water on a building roof in order to enable phase change of the water, thereby removing substantial amounts of heat from the roof surface. This heat removal will reduce heat load to the building and reduce energy required to mitigate the heating and cooling of the building.
[0006]Several application implementations are described. These various application implementations enable application of the invention to different types of surfaces, including flat and pitched roofs and sidewalls. Moreover, the invention includes various enhancements that increase usability, longevity and maintenance.

Problems solved by technology

These technologies range from relatively simple to very complex, with a mix of cost-benefit ratios.

example

[0044]Existing high water content polymers like that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,201,089 provides a straightforward basis for an example implementation of this invention.

[0045]A hydrated polymer, combined with a liquid adhesive component is mixed with a working fluid to provide the proper application viscosity. Viscosity requirements may be based on several factors, but at a minimum will have to allow compatibility with application means. For the sake of this example, the application means is a spray system commonly used in the construction trade for applying paints or expandable foam insulation and other surface coatings.

[0046]After clearing an existing roof from debris and easily removed dirt and residue, an operator uses the spray system to apply a layer of the polymer mix. Environmental factors like temperature and humidity may impact the speed at which the operator can apply the material. As is often the case in applying paint, multiple applications may be necessary to provide...

Abstract

A novel system for using a high water content polymer and its various implementations to provide a means of evaporative cooling and temperature regulation for buildings and structures. This invention will provide benefits at much lower initial and ongoing costs than competing solutions and will bring other benefits and extensions inherent in its design and implementation.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 749,969, entitled “Evaporative Cooling System,” filed Jan. 8, 2013, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Conserving energy is important for many economic and environmental reasons. New technologies and approaches are being developed to help reduce energy needs and improve efficiencies. These technologies range from relatively simple to very complex, with a mix of cost-benefit ratios. Because of the claimed value of some of these technologies, cost-benefit ratios can be skewed to greater favorability by various incentives like specific tax breaks, funding grants and others.[0003]Often a real breakthrough comes from an unexpected source, including a different industry or material application. Such is the case of the invention disclosed herein: a novel polymer compound invented for other purposes finds substantial suitability to the application of energy c...
