Mainstream Engineering Corp., Rockledge, Fla., has been awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a high-efficiency refrigeration compressor for compact thermal control and refrigeration applications.
“We are very excited to receive another contract to improve the performance of air conditioners and refrigeration systems, especially on the heels of our prior government-funded effort, which was so successful in improving the performance of residential heat pumps, and resulted in the QwikSEER+® product,” said Dr. Robert P. Scaringe, president of Mainstream.
