AT A GLANCE Project Information
Project Title: NANOCOOL “An Energy Efficient Air Conditioning system with Temperature and Humidity independent controls based on the combination of a Liquid Desiccant Cycle with an adapted conventional air cooling system.”
Project Objective: The Nanocool consortium has developed an innovative hybrid liquid desiccant system (HLDS) with the aim to substitute the existing standard vapor compression systems for a wide range of HVAC applications.
liquid desiccant, lithium chloride, destroys airborne bacteria and allergenic particles during the dehumidification process. The partners foresee an initial market
worth up to €180m by 2020, generating 4000 job opportunities for skilled operators and installers. The partners also expect that the intended HVAC

solution will allow cumulative savings on energy bill of at least €60m with a pay-back time below two years in case of 50 per cent use. “We are now working on finalising our business plan during an exploitation workshop and after looking at the final data from the demonstration site in Taiwan,” says Novotna. “We believe that the system could be well
suited to a number of
environments such as hospitals, restaurants and kitchens where you are dealing with heat and humidity but you also want clean air. It could also be useful for environments that need to be extremely dry, such as libraries and munitions stores.” The combination of partners present in the nanoCOOL consortium should allow for swift market introduction of the innovative system specially oriented to humid environments.
