Thermal management for ISVG. (a) The species of heat loss of ISVG. (b) Schematic of ISVG with suppression of conduction loss. (c) Schematic of ISVG with suppression of conduction loss and radiation loss. (d) Schematic of ISVG with suppression of conduction loss, convection loss and radiation loss. (e) Schematic of ISVG with suppression of conduction loss, convection loss and radiation loss through reducing the evaporation temperature. (f) Comparison of heat loss as a function of (Tmax - Tamb)/Copt among different interfacial evaporation systems. Copt is defined as the optical concentration factor of the input concentrated power normalized by the irradiated solar power of one sun. Data are extracted and/or recalculated based on [11,14,55,60,61,72,73,77,81] as shown in the legend.
