Maturity stage
TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world
Today’s standard for cooling our buildings and facilities relies upon a century-old cooling technology called "Vapour Compression Cooling". It consists of a mechanical compressor that consumes significant amounts of electricity, which makes these systems costly to operate. It also uses synthetic refrigerants that tend to leak at a rate of 7-10% annually and are over 1000 times more detrimental in terms of global warming than CO2. Enersion has solved these problems by introducing a new cooling technology that uses low-grade heat (~60 C) instead of electricity as the energy input, and water as a refrigerant in a vacuum-sealed system. The Enersion technology uses 70% less electricity without any harmful refrigerants. By replacing the mechanical compression with thermal compression, this innovative system reaches a coefficient of performance exceeding 23 for electrical performance and 0.6 for thermal performance.
The Environmental Benefits
- •70% reduction of electricity consumption compared to conventional solution - representing up to 830kg of CO2e per year for one ton of cooling
- •No harmful refrigerant or emissions
- •For a chiller in Toronto this amounts to 830 kg of CO2e per year for just one ton of coolin
The Financial Benefits
- •Rate of return between 2-3 years
- •Priced competitively compared to current technology
- •Reduces by 68% cooling costs compared to a conventional cooling tower
- •Reduces by 77% costs compared to a conventional chiller
