High Efficiency Cooling and Heating
- RECU
HMC recently completed an effort for the U.S Marine Corp. to develop an advanced method to cool/heat remote structures including tents and permanent structures, was a total success. The demonstrated system proved that a high efficiency heat pump system that used a thermal fluid to remotely transfer thermal energy could provide highly distributed cooling or heating. Our Remote Environmental Control Unit (RECU) will provide a new energy saving ECU platform for Military, Commercial and Residential customers. The technology is fully demonstrable with scalability from micro systems to large +100 ton units.
- RVBC
Another unique development is our Radial Vapor Ball Compressor (RVBC). This small form factor compressor utilizes an array of ball pistons arranged similar to a radial engine. The balls travel rotationally along an eccentric path providing movement within the cylinder efficiently compressing the gas. Initial results of a prototype are very encouraging and development will continue through 2012.
- RDHE
The latest development in this area is our new high efficiency condensing unit. This radical design promises to dramatically increase any vapor compression system efficiencies. Code named RDHE, this condensing technology virtually eliminates the thermal boundary layer that plagues all currently used refrigerant to air condensers. Basic system COP efficiencies will double by adoption of the RDHE concept.
Details of this breakthrough technology will become available throughout 2012 after prototype prove out.
