Industry Overview
Global heating, cooling, and refrigeration systems present several very serious problems: (1) they consume enormous amounts of energy, (2) their use of toxic, synthetic refrigerants is harmful to the environment and (3) regulatory requirements create an enormous and costly logistical burden.
The primary challenges facing industry today are developing environmentally friendly components that consume less energy and also critically interjecting management methods for improving efficiency, distribution, and conservation of thermal energy. In short but a tall order, there is great need to improve heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system efficiencies while simultaneously using environmentally benign, natural refrigerants.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (designated R744) is widely recognized as an ideal natural refrigerant replacement for noxious FC refrigerants, presenting well known and widely accepted advantages that can meet the aforementioned demands on the industry for “next generation” HVACR systems.

About Our Technologies
The HVACR industry, though relatively
mature, is under tremendous
pressure from many sources, including
regulatory agencies in the United
States and the European Union (EU), to
restrict and eventually eliminate
production and use of fluorocarbon (FC) refrigerants. And the primary
challenge facing the industry today is to develop “next generation”
HVACR systems that not only consumes less energy, but also manages and
converses created energy more efficiently, while utilizing environmentally
benign natural refrigerant compounds. Secondary challenges include
increased performance and lower operating costs.
Carbon dioxide is widely recognized as an ideal replacement for these toxic synthetic FC refrigerants, and presents well known and widely accepted advantages that can meet the aforementioned demands on the industry.
EcoThermics has developed a suite of innovative fluid mechanical technologies that present the following breakthroughs in design concepts for CO2 systems:
- Durability
- Energy Efficiency
- Capacity
- Hydronic Motive
- Modular
- Manufacturability
