After three years of record-\u00adbreaking heat, this one is set to be yet another scorcher<\/a>. Air-conditioning? Not going anywhere. The International Energy Agency projects that the number of AC units will triple by 2050<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s good for health\u2014one Lancet<\/em> study<\/a> estimated that AC prevented nearly 200,000 premature deaths in 2019 alone\u2014but bad for the planet. Artificial chill already accounts for 7% of global electricity use and 3% of greenhouse-gas emissions, and if improperly disposed of, the units can leak refrigerants with more global-\u00adwarming potential than carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

Feeling the heat, a number of scientists and startups are hoping to amp up solid-\u00adstate cooling, which is currently used at a small scale for things like mini fridges, EV batteries, and some high-end gaming computers. Traditional ACs transfer heat by using a compressor and a fan to circulate a refrigerant and turn it from liquid to gas. <\/p>\n

Solid-state systems, on the other hand, move heat through conductive materials like gadolinium and bismuth telluride\u2014which could theoretically cool spaces and surfaces with fewer messy side effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The catch is whether they can match the efficiency of conventional AC. \u201cOne of the key questions that remain is why are the solid-state coolers not as efficient as typical thermodynamic cycles?\u201d says Pramod Reddy, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan who studies heat transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Research and pilot programs are underway to test a range of approaches. Brooklyn-based Mimic Systems uses thermo\u00adelectric cooling, which passes a current through semiconductive materials to shift heat from one side to another. Its room-scale climate control system is being piloted in an apartment in Vancouver<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The German company Magnotherm is set to test its system<\/a>, which relies on a magneto\u00adcaloric setup that transfers heat by magnetizing and demagnetizing materials, in a chain of supermarkets. A team in Hong Kong<\/a> has announced that its elastocaloric device, whose material heats and cools as it expands and contracts, can dip below 0 \u00b0C. And the UK\u2019s Barocal<\/a> is betting on barocaloric systems, which change temperature in response to shifts in pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But experts, especially in thermoelectrics, have doubts about how well any solid-\u00adstate scheme can compete. For most modern HVAC systems, the coefficient of performance (COP) is 3, explains Jeff Snyder, a professor at Northwestern University who studies electrical and thermal conductivity. That essentially means the system moves three units of heat for every unit of energy that goes into it. <\/p>\n

Thermoelectrics in particular tend to have a much lower performance at high levels of temperature change, Snyder says, which means they\u2019re best suited for niche uses such as cooling the back of a car seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Efficiency, however, isn\u2019t everything, argues Lindsay Rasmussen, a manager at the Rocky Mountain Institute\u2019s climate tech accelerator Third Derivative, which supports both Magnotherm and Mimic. In the US, most ACs currently in use employ a refrigerant called R410A, which has a global-\u00adwarming potential more than 2,000 times that of carbon dioxide. Plus, their moving parts can make them less durable, especially compared with a solid-state model that\u2019s less mechanically complex.<\/p>\n

Still, a dearth of units makes it hard to answer the efficiency question. To understand how well alternatives work, says Rasmussen, researchers need to compare their long-term energy consumption with that of conventional models instead of simply looking at COP. Mimic claims, for example, that its room-scale model should match the draw of a typical AC unit over the course of a year. Elastocaloric and barocaloric systems also have promise, Rasmussen adds, but room-scale prototypes are probably two to three years away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the end, the likelihood that solid-state cooling could replace compressor-based AC is slim. But as the planet warms and places like India install tens of millions of new AC units over the next decade, supplanting even a small number could make a dent. \u201cIf [solid-state] could take over even a 5% market share,\u201d Rasmussen says, \u201cthat is a really large potential impact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
