Research abstract
Interphase Materials (IPM) proposes their Heat Transfer Efficiency (HTE) nano-engineered surface treatment to improve the efficiency of facility cooling systems in connection to Focus Area 10: Base of the Future Concepts, Technologies, and Technology Applications. Interphase Materials’ objective through this proposal is to optimize our commercially ready solution to meet United States Air Force (USAF) needs in a Phase II demonstration at a cooling plant on at Hill Air Force base, where we will validate and quantify the technology’s impact. To drive efficiency, IPM treats the hardware of heat exchanger components with a sustainable nano-engineered material that enhances the transfer of heat across heat exchanger surfaces thereby allowing cooling systems to use less energy and water. Further, this environmentally friendly technology mitigates biological fouling (algae, etc.) and reduces inorganic fouling (scale and corrosion by-products).
