Problem
Traditional cooling systems rely on bulky compressors and environmentally harmful refrigerants, leading to energy inefficiency and increased operational costs, particularly in data centers, cold chain logistics, and HVAC applications. These systems also struggle to meet the increasing demands for precise temperature control and sustainability.
Solution
Phononic provides solid-state cooling solutions that eliminate compressors and toxic refrigerants, offering an efficient and sustainable alternative for thermal management. Their thermoelectric technology uses a proprietary chip to deliver precise and scalable cooling for various applications, including data centers, optical transceivers, cold chain fulfillment (e-grocery, last mile delivery, pharmaceutical), and HVAC systems. Phononic's active cooling solutions enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and ensure compliance with temperature-sensitive requirements while enabling net-zero, all-electric commercial heating and cooling with a lower total cost of ownership. The TTAP (Terminal Treatment of Air with Peltier) platform offers fully demand-based cooling and heating without the need for refrigerants or a hydronic network.
Target Audience
Phononic's primary customers include data centers seeking energy-efficient cooling, fiber optic and LiDAR manufacturers requiring precise temperature control, cold chain logistics providers needing sustainable tri-temperature solutions, and HVAC companies looking for refrigerant-free systems.
