Problem
Conventional heat pumps rely on F-gas refrigerants, which contribute significantly to global warming and ozone depletion due to their high global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP). These refrigerants also pose regulatory complexity and risks related to leaks, servicing, and end-of-life recovery.
Solution
Exergyn is developing a solid-state heat pump technology that eliminates the need for harmful refrigerants and reduces emissions. The core of the system utilizes a modular shape memory alloy (SMA) device, providing a versatile solution for heating and cooling needs. This technology offers exceptional efficiency, power density, and longevity, while also minimizing noise emissions. By removing refrigerants, the system avoids issues such as leaks, refrigerant servicing, and end-of-life recovery, and reduces regulatory complexity.
