W-S Cooling
A cooling-enabled power generator
W-S Cooling is a PV-Wind hybrid device installed in farms that integrates a misting system. It utilizes MOFs material to absorb moisture from the air, and then transfers the waste heat from the solar panels through a thermal tube to the MOFs, causing it to evaporate and obtain water that is used by the misting system to cool down the crops and reduce heat damage. At the bottom, W-S Cooling has an energy storage system that provides electricity to households or farms in the area, forming a new type of agricultural-electricity symbiosis.
