Our Technology
Absorption Technology
Our absorption technology demonstrates the ability to provide efficient dehumidification, drying, cooling, and heating across a variety of applications from industrial drying to water heating. This technology offers unmatched scalability and performance using a semi-open absorption cycle, ionic liquid desiccants, and compact modular plate and frame heat and mass exchangers. The semi-open cycle allows for system configuration that address specific applications, while minimizing heat loss and increasing system performance. Ionic liquid desiccants eliminate crystallization concerns associated with brine desiccants, increasing the system’s operational range and eliminating the need for costly controls. The use of compact plate and frame heat and mass exchangers allows for system scalability while still maintaining a small footprint.
Thermal Management
Our two-phase cooling technology demonstrates the ability to achieve extraordinary levels of cooling needed for the next generation of electronics ranging from 1 to 2 kW/cm² at the die level with heat transfer coefficients approaching 2 MW/m² K using water as the working fluid. Our new approach fundamentally alters the dynamics of the boiling process by utilizing surface tension and pressure forces. This makes viable thermal management platforms involving large chips and systems with numerous heat sinks connected to a liquid supply line operating at 0-100% heat load without interfering with the performance of one another. The exit vapor quality remains at 100% regardless of heat input. The heat sinks, operating at theoretically minimum flow rates, require pumping power two orders of magnitude less than that of other heat sinks.
Kidney Dialysis
Our proposed dialysate-free system incorporates an innovative microfluidic dialyzer, and electrolyte- and water-recovery technology to imitate kidney function without external dialysate fluid reliance. Using battery power for portability, this compact design not only minimizes energy consumption—up to 30 times less than standard hemodialysis machines—but also enhances patient mobility and access in diverse settings. Miniaturized components, continuous physiological monitoring, and responsive electrolyte and water recovery ensure patient safety and precise hydration control, making this a transformative step in dialysis care. The system’s microfluidic circuit enables efficient filtration and electrolyte recovery, producing minimal waste while adjusting to patient conditions and blood pressure fluctuations, ensuring stable operation and optimized fluid balance.
