A "new" source of renewable energy: the coldness of the wind.

Summary

The cooling power of a wind, which has a temperature T lower than the temperature T(o) of a reference medium (sea, river, waste fluid) has seldom been used. Analysing weather data for different sites, the authors show that the enthalpy and exergy fluxes available from these thermal dipoles, can largely exceed the pure kinetic energy of the strongest wind. They describe a thermo-mechanical machine for electricity production (inspired from OTEC: ocean thermal energy conversion) and an original multistage absorption heat pump for space heating.
