Funpressor
An ultra efficient refrigeration cycle and at its heart a novel compressor, using clean natural refrigerants, ofering upto 50% electrica power savings
About Us
An ultra efficient refrigeration cycle and at its heart a novel compressor, our cycle features a patented, integrated secondary compression cycle, utilizing a dual fluid, dual phase solution.
Compressor work is reduced by more than 50%, condenser load & required fan power reduced by 30%. The new cycle is expected to double the COP (coefficient of performance).
Applicable for both commercial refrigeration & HVAC residential, as initial target markets, the design uses the same features of today’s refrigeration units, providing a form, fit and function (FFF) replacement, while using a clean natural refrigerant (less than 3.0 GWP).
The building of the refrigeration unit, cost of goods and manufacturing utilizes the same methods employed today for about the same cost. Same installation methods, and the same industry ready technician tools and certification, even expected size and shipping. So, the cost of the units is expected to be the same as today’s units CAPEX, while lifetime cost of ownership is expected to be cut by more than 50%.
The design also features a new novel method of integration for energy storage, in the form of a local (distributed) pressure-based vessel for 2 to 3 hours peek shifting capabilities.
The cycle has further applications to be developed
Relevant Challenges
Energy Storage
A new Refrigeration cycle, enables the first pressure based energy storage for peak shifting
Operational Systems
We develop a technology with a highly efficient, low-emission compressor that uses natural refrigerants. Our system delivers up to 50% electricity savings in heating and cooling, dramatically reducing the carbon footprint of HVAC and refrigeration operations across residential, commercial, and industrial settings
