Radiative water-cooling system utilizing deep space radiation energy at night

Abstract

The persistent escalation of nocturnal cooling requirements necessitates passive heat rejection mechanisms that exploit the atmospheric transparency window. This study presents a reduced-order computational model to quantify the nocturnal thermal extraction of a horizontally oriented, water-filled radiative panel under clear-sky conditions. Numerical simulations, performed using Python 3.x, track the sensible cooling trajectory over a 10-hour nocturnal cycle. The model assumes a constant surface emissivity of 0.94 and low wind speeds (convective coefficient 2.5 W·m-2·K-1). Results demonstrate that effective thermal extraction peaks at 71.5 W·m-2 during the intermediate nocturnal interval, yielding a cumulative water temperature reduction of 6.8°C (from an initial 25.0°C to 17.5°C) and an estimated cooling capacity of 0.6 kWh·m-2 per night. The principal novelty lies in the dynamic nonlinear coupling of continuous meteorological fluctuations with the thermal inertia of the circulating fluid, bridging the gap between steady-state nodal models and complex CFD simulations. The quantitative analysis confirms that deep-space radiative exchange is a highly viable supplementary architecture for low-grade thermal management in temperate climates.
