    Abstract: Hybrid evaporative and radiative cooling panel systems having increased cooling efficiency while minimizing water consumption are provided. The disclosed hybrid systems include a cooling panel that enables the improved cooling and water consumption via a reflector layer which reflects solar radiation, an evaporative and infrared-emitting layer that is solar-transparent and water-rich, and an insulation layer that is vapor-permeable. infrared-transparent. and solar-reflecting. The cooling panel is configured to be in fluid communication with a heat exchanger. The cooling panel is further configured to cool a heat transfer fluid by way of both evaporative cooling and radiative cooling. The cooling panel is also configured such that the heat transfer fluid passes at least one of through or across the cooling panel and flows to the heat exchanger. Various configurations of such panels and panel systems. and methods of implementing the principles associated with the same. are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A thermal system may include a vapor compression refrigeration circuit conducting a first refrigerant, an absorption refrigeration circuit conducting a second refrigerant and an absorbent, and a heat exchanger unit. The vapor compression refrigeration circuit may include a first heat rejection heat exchanger, a first heat absorption heat exchanger, a compressor disposed between the first heat absorption heat exchanger and the first heat rejection heat exchanger, and an expansion valve disposed between and connected to the first heat rejection heat exchanger and the first heat absorption heat exchanger. The absorption refrigeration circuit may include a generator, an absorber, a pump disposed between and connected to the absorber and the generator, a throttling valve disposed between and connected to the generator and the absorber, a second heat rejection heat exchanger connected to the generator, and a second heat absorption heat exchanger connected to the absorber. The generator and the first heat rejection heat exchanger may be integrated with one another within the heat exchanger unit such that heat emitted by the first heat rejection heat exchanger is transferred to the generator.
