Supported by the Energy Departments Building Technologies Program, the Sandia Cooler is a breakthrough technology with the potential to advance heat exchangers beyond what is available today. Heat exchangers are used to cool the surrounding air in microelectronics, refrigeration, heating, air conditioning and nearly every application that generates waste heat accounting for 53 percent of building energy consumption. While currently available for licensing for electronic cooling and LED lighting technology, researchers continue to refine the Sandia Cooler and are working on scaling up this new heat exchanger technology for applications such as heating and cooling systems.
