Type of article: Article

Summary

EXAMPLES OF FOUR TYPES OF SPECTRALLY SELECTIVE SURFACES: WITH HIGH SOLAR ABSORBANCE AND LOW THERMAL EMITTANCE, FOR RADIATIVE COOLING TO LOW TEMPERATURES, TRANSPARENT HEAT MIRRORS (TWO TYPES ARE INTERESTING, ONE IS USED FOR TRANSMITTING VISIBLE LIGHT AND FOR REFLECTING IR RADIATION, THE OTHER TRANSMITS SOLAR RADIATION, WHEREAS THERMAL EMISSION IS HINDERED), GREEN LEAVES. THESE ARE AN EXAMPLE OF THE WAY IN WHICH NATURE SOLVES THE DIFFICULT PROBLEM OF RADIATION COOLING. (BULL. CNRS, FR., 82-730-4676.
