Pascal Technology is commercializing solid refrigerants that replace traditional gaseous refrigerants in vapor‑compression HVAC systems. The solid materials operate at the same temperature and pressure ranges but have zero direct emissions, delivering higher thermodynamic efficiency, smaller and quieter equipment, and compatibility with existing components for residential, commercial, and data‑center applications.

Problem
Conventional vapor‑compression HVAC systems rely on gaseous refrigerants that have high global warming potential and contribute significantly to greenhouse‑gas emissions. The widespread use of these refrigerants also limits energy efficiency and forces larger, noisier equipment designs.
Solution
Pascal Technology is commercializing solid refrigerants that operate within the same temperature and pressure ranges as traditional gas refrigerants but have zero direct emissions. By integrating these low‑pressure solid materials into existing vapor‑compression cycles, Pascal’s approach enables HVAC systems that are more energy‑efficient, smaller, quieter, and safer while remaining compatible with standard components. The solid refrigerants eliminate the climate impact of refrigerant leakage and reduce overall system size, opening pathways for next‑generation heating, cooling, and heat‑pump applications across residential, commercial, and data‑center markets.
Target Audience
Primary customers include HVAC manufacturers, system integrators, and commercial building developers seeking low‑emission, high‑efficiency heating and cooling solutions for residential, commercial, and data‑center applications.
Features
