Next Generation HVACR Systems
The HVACR industry is fiercely competitive and has experienced few recent groundbreaking technological advances. Primary drivers of competitive differentiation are efficiency increases, value added services, retrofit offerings, and perhaps most importantly, the growing trend of heating/cooling system management capabilities.
Political, economic, and environmental pressures now place energy consumption, conservation, and the protection of our global environment at the forefront of global consciousness. We believe these are not stumbling blocks to economic progress, but rather stepping stones to uncharted achievement and exceptional opportunities.
During the past decade, academic and industry research labs and the US Army have been fundamentally addressing the CO 2/R744 challenges versus the limitations of conventional systems. This applied research funding and development of next generation systems are directed at long-term solutions, and consequently define a predictable “tectonic” industrial shift pushed by governmental and consumer demand.
Specific advantages this refrigerant include greater energy efficiency in both heating and cooling, reduced weight and volume of HVACR equipment, rapid and deeper “cool down”, instant heat from higher heat side temperatures, reduced logistics burden (no refrigerant management, recovery or recycling required and no mandated training necessities). It is safe (non-toxic and inflammable), inexpensive, widely available, and of course, CO2 is environmentally friendly – it is non-ozone depleting, has zero net global warming impact (sequestered from industrial production or from gas already occurring in the atmosphere). It is EU compliant and clearly holds a preferred status as the optimal natural refrigerant for future systems.
The ideal visionary next generation thermal management system features a core heating/cooling device that eliminates the environmental hazards, and related costs of FC refrigerants, and reduces energy consumption by ~50%, while providing ideal creature comfort and indoor air quality. The core device would seamlessly integrate with any heat source, natural or manmade; removing, storing, transferring, and delivering thermal energy for virtually any heating/cooling requirement.
“It is not enough to be efficient in the creation of thermal energy –we must cleverly conserve what we create if we want to truly reduce our carbon footprint”. Dr. Rodney Hugelman
Unequivocally, the world needs natural and efficient heating, cooling and refrigeration. The development of next generation long-term, efficient and environmentally friendly heating, cooling, and refrigeration systems will create prodigious economic shifts and opportunities.
EcoThermics technology presented as a R744 Hydronic Heat Pump and Thermal Grid , offers both vision and clean technology for unequalled seamless integrated system applications, efficient thermal distribution, and conservation of energy, i.e., lower cost of ownership and green.
