Is your car’s air conditioner running a little too warm? An additive first developed for NASA spacecraft has found widespread application on Earth, where it boosts the performance of AC and refrigeration units. The unique liquid is sold in a do-it-yourself kit that can recharge automotive air conditioners — and help keep you cooler in hot weather.
In space, temperatures can range from hundreds of degrees below zero to hundreds of degrees above. NASA has developed advanced systems for regulating temperatures inside spacecraft and spacesuits, on satellites and more, from heat shields that block the extreme heat of re-entry to cooling systems that keep astronauts comfortable on the dayside of an orbit around Earth.
