Sept. 9, 2013: Development of Natural Refrigerant Heat Pump Receives DOE Grant
New Heat Pump Technology Expected to Reduce Energy Consumption by 50 Percent
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Part of a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project to reduce energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions, S-RAM Dynamics has been awarded a grant to help commercialize a new natural refrigerant heat pump.
According to the company, the heat pump will also reduce energy consumption for commercial and industrial customers by more than 50 percent when compared to other common air conditioning and heating systems. The system is being developed in coordination with Purdue University and performance testing will be done at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
