Earlier this year, in the depths of the New England winter, with summer's heat still months away, our team planted the seed of an idea for a new high-efficiency cooling product. Spurred by a customer's interest, the new idea grew quickly from a napkin sketch to a full size prototype. In less than 6 months we had a fully functioning unit ready to be tested (to put this into context, the unit is the size of a small car and, like a car, a typical design cycle would take 2-3 years). With much trepidation we sent it off for testing at a third party facility and the performance was... outstanding!... Exactly what we expected. The unit delivered cool and dry air at more than _double_ the current standard of energy efficiency for this type of equipment. Were we lucky? In some ways Yes. So many things had to come together just right. But mostly, No. This development was backed by years of experience and a dedicated team that worked diligently to overcome incredible obstacles. And that's what makes Transaera, Inc. So what's next? Field trials on a roof-top of a building in collaboration with the customer who sparked this (r)evolution. Stay tuned... In the meantime, here are more details from a TechCrunch article: https://lnkd.in/e3b3_4Ke Thank you Transaera, Inc. team and all contractors and suppliers who made this happen: Danfoss, CAREL, Johnstone Supply, OSH Cut, EBM, ZIEHL-ABEGG Inc. Special thanks to our network of collaborators, Matthew Dorson, Fresco Design , OTS R&D, Inc. Greentown Labs and many many others.

Cooling for All - bringing comfort to billions of people while reducing the impact on climate and grid infrastructure
关于我们
Residential air conditioning is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Three billion new residential air conditioning units will be purchased and installed throughout the world by 2050. India and China will account for the majority of this global expansion. Using a novel desiccant material developed at MIT, Transaera is developing an ultra-efficient air conditioning system that will bring comfort to billions of people while reducing the impact on climate and grid infrastructure.

It never fails: as soon as the summer starts, we get media inquiries about air conditioning. With longer and more frequent heat waves bearing on us, people start thinking and worrying about air conditioning. But for us, at Transaera, Inc., we think and worry about it all year round. A few weeks ago we shipped an AC prototype for third-party testing, a huge milestone for our team (more on that later). The idea for this new prototype came together in the depths of the winter. Whether it's heating, cooling and, more importantly, dehumidifying, people's comfort is a year-round focus for us. Check out this insightful piece from our local NPR radio station, WBUR, highlighting the importance of advancing AC technology in the face of escalating climate challenges: https://lnkd.in/eysQCMiU #AirConditioning #Innovation #ClimateChange #heatwave #comfort

Transformative technologies in a century-old industry like Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) don't come very often. But there's a new horizon in HVAC: the concept of separating cooling from dehumidifying. It will not only reduce energy consumption dramatically but also increase comfort by delivering cool, dry air. And yet another important benefit is that it opens up the design space to create breakthrough AC devices that can be made out of simpler materials like wood. Imagine an AC like a piece of furniture that blends into your home decor. This is the challenge we posed to our friends at Fresco Design and they delivered! Take a look at this amazing design of a room AC that not only consumes 35% less energy than a conventional AC, but also looks amazingly good. And if you're wondering whether this is just a pretty picture?... No! This design really exists and we've shown that it can deliver on the key efficiency metric that we targeted. Thank you, Fresco Design team for your support. For anyone who would like more information, please go to our web site at www.transaera.com.

It was a great eclipse day for everyone, but especially for Transaera employees ?? ?? We decided to call it a company holiday yesterday, giving our team a day to enjoy the cosmic wonders of the universe before we dive head first into the hottest months of the year. We have a very busy summer ahead of us - one that we anticipate will be very hot, very humid, and prime conditions to motivate us to create a better and more efficient cooling solution with a reduced carbon footprint.

"Air conditioning demand is going to grow a lot as people across the world get richer, and the world gets hotter." Don't we know it! Transaera is proud to be a part of the solution, creating an air conditioning technology reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions as the demand for air conditioning increases. https://lnkd.in/e3qRVipr
