CharCool

CharCool is an innovative project aimed at developing a new class of affordable, compact, and efficient water-based sorption chillers for air conditioning and data centre thermal management. The project focuses on a ground-breaking modular thermopile, utilizing a novel, inexpensive, high-energy density, and environmentally friendly Thermochemical Material (TCM). The proposed system outperforms current refrigeration technologies, reducing both the volume (by 40%) and cost (by 50%) of conventional sorption chillers. During the project, the key building blocks for this technology will be developed, optimized, and advanced to TRL4.
