Air Conditioner consume higher energy of fuel

There are another way to save fuel vehicle and this way can also be done. Air conditioning (Air Conditioner), components such as additional character only, it also consumes a significant fuel. Can even be a producer of CO2 emissions if the refrigerant leakage occurs.

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), energy laboratory owned by the United States Department of Energy, states that air conditioners consume a lot of vehicles used petrol nearly 6% of annual total United States demand. Approximately 25 billion liters of gasoline burned by the air conditioner continues to work while vehicles are still on the road.

The condition is exacerbated by leakage that may occur with the air conditioner will add 50 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually.

The amount of gasoline consumed by air conditioning and much CO2 is released, making NREL should facilitate a program to make more efficient air conditioner.

Various methods and ideas have been tested by researchers at the laboratory. One of them is conditioned by adding a redesigned thermoelectric module and no longer use the refrigerant as working fluid. The other method is to use glass coatings and paints that can withstand sunlight and lowering temperatures by 34%.

NREL seem to prefer to try the first method, as evidenced by his cooperation with Ford’s plan that previously have received funding from the DOE to develop a thermoelectric system.

If the collaboration is to stage the production, then each vehicle would be far more fuel efficient.
