Earth Friendly = Budget Friendly
The primary challenge facing industry today is to develop systems that more efficiently manage and conserve energy, while utilizing environmentally benign natural refrigerants. Put simply and directly, the world needs super efficient heating and cooling/refrigeration systems that use carbon dioxide.
- CO2 is environmentally clean, friendly to use, and inexpensive compared to costly synthetics, toxic ammonia or flammable hydrocarbons.
- CO2 technology cools faster and produces warmer temperatures for heating, resulting in greater year round comfort.
- EcoThermics technology offers up to 50% direct energy savings compared with traditional heat pump systems for the same heating and cooling.
In an age of exploding energy costs, this on-going reality will continue to wreak havoc on household, corporate, and governmental budgets. Adding to the enormous economic cost of operating and servicing HVACR systems is the colossal (governmental and global) mandated regulatory infrastructure , that is, the accounting, training, and logistical handling which are unnecessary cost burdens we unquestionably assume with the continued use of environmentally harmful and noxious refrigerant gases. There is a most logical “money in the pocket” choice which consumers will be quick to identify, when available.
A cursory review of research and development efforts will confirm that both global industry and the U.S. military are aggressively moving toward introduction of super efficient “next generation” systems that utilize carbon dioxide (officially designated “R744”) as a refrigerant.
“Next generation” CO2 systems, which are technically foreseeable, will utilize natural carbon dioxide (officially designated “R744”) in benign application as a refrigerant. The primary challenge facing industry today is to develop systems that more efficiently manage and conserve energy, while using environmentally neutral natural refrigerants, such as carbon dioxide. EcoThermics Corporation was recently formed to supply solutions for this imminent technology shift, and exploit the economic opportunities through a licensing strategy to OEM manufacturing partners.
