Feb. 19, 2015: United Technologies Research Center Awarded DOE Contract
Project to Explore New Materials for Heat Exchangers
WASHINGTON — United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), the research arm of United Technologies Corp., has been awarded a one-year $744,154 contract by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) to develop a database of materials for the manufacture of high-performance industrial and commercial non-metallic heat exchangers.
“We’re excited to be working with the Department of Energy on this next-generation technology to explore new materials for heat exchangers,” said Abbas Alahyari, UTRC principal scientist and project leader. “If we can reduce the life-cycle and manufacturing costs utilizing new materials, then we can save a significant amount of energy.”
