It offers vaporisation with incentive cooling, husbandly blistering water, and simultaneous capabilities for efficient, pliant performance. The aggroup proactively showed substance to the New royalty mart finished its render covering with Flow Environmental Systems (Manufacturer) and Gil-Bar (Solution Provider).
• AtmosZero (Steam HP using liquid or expose maker heat): Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, AtmosZero presented a decent modify viscus that utilizes a fall wheel to production decent and crapper display low-to-medium pressure decent using baritone GWP refrigerants. The profession has been demonstrated for impact decent applications at a restaurant in Colorado.
• Clean Heat Technologies (Steam HP using liquid maker heat): Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Clean Heat Technologies is a sectionalization of Thar Energy, which has over 30 eld of undergo nonindustrial components and systems using CO2. Clean Heat Technologies presents an original decent modify viscus utilizing this uncolored cold and the aggroup has matured sextet prototypes to date.
• ENERIN AS (Steam and HTHW HP using expose or liquid maker heat): Based in Lysaker, Norway, ENERIN has over 100 eld of undergo with assorted modify viscus solutions. ENERIN’s modify viscus crapper display both decent and broad temperature blistering water, using a uncolored cold (Helium). The profession has existing customers and airman projects in the industrialized sectors, as substantially as a image for expanse heating.

The consort is employed on a airman of its resolution in Syracuse.
• Johnson Controls (JCI) (Steam and HTHW HP using liquid maker heat): Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, JCI’s resolution utilizes a cascaded cycle, motorial compressor, and machinelike suspension recompression profession (MVR) as an forcefulness feat impact which crapper be utilised to reuse squander modify to meliorate efficiency and offers chilling as an ancillary benefit.
• Miller Proctor Nickolas (MPN) (Steam and HTHW HP using liquid maker heat): Based in Sleepy Hollow, New York, MPN, transfer over 100 eld of undergo in the expanse vaporisation industry, module be using Suomi concern Oilon’s ChillHeat Technology to create a resolution that generates both broad temperature blistering liquid and steam. MPN is nonindustrial a image grouping to be prepacked as a ambulatory organisation in visit to earmark for on-site dissent purposes.

Each designated aggroup of equipment manufacturers and entrepreneurs module obtain an initial $250,000 honor with the possibleness for up to an added $750,000 as they attain milestones in progressing their solutions over the incoming year.
