Why is this air conditioner only made from terracotta, not using electricity, that can cool the surrounding space?
Air conditioners are gradually becoming an essential item for households and offices.
An ideal environment will help improve work performance for employees, in which ideal temperature plays an important role, especially for countries with hot climates like Vietnam. The hot, sultry weather of summer not only affects health, but also causes frustration and makes it difficult to control emotions.
In a country with a tropical climate and heavy environmental pollution like India, the need to cool living and working spaces is also great. Despite its ability to cool quickly, air conditioners cause damage to the environment by increasing the greenhouse effect and at the same time, consuming a large amount of electricity. In the long run, air conditioning will make the problem of global warming worse.
With that in mind, Indian electronics company Deki Electronics and Ant Studio in New Delhi have devised a structure that can cool the air without consuming any electricity.
Environmentally friendly terracotta air conditioning solution.
About this idea, Monish Siripurapu, founder of Ant Studio, shared : “As an architect, I wanted to find an eco-friendly but also artistic solution using manual methods. traditional”.

To create this smart air conditioner, the engineering team used a circular metal frame to connect hundreds of terracotta tubes, creating a honeycomb-shaped structure .
This special cooling “equipment” possesses many advantages in terms of cost savings, high aesthetics, terracotta tubes that can absorb water. When hot air flows through the terracotta tube, cool breeze will rise, helping to cool the surrounding space without using energy.
The circular steel frame of this particular “air conditioner”.
Traditionally fired laterite round tubes are the main material of this air conditioner.
Diagram of the principle of air cooling of the terracotta system: Hot air rises to push cool vapors out.
The water flowing through is partially absorbed by the terracotta tube, which helps to create a cool vapor as the hot air passes through.
Not only cost-effective and environmentally friendly, this air freshener solution is also aesthetically pleasing.
