- This EPSRC/Innovate UK funded research describes a novel heat and mass exchanger with significantly enhanced heat transfer capability. Lab testing in conjunction with a 4kW dew point cooler found the system could achieve a saving of up to 90% in electricity consumption compared to traditional mechanical cooling systems. This work won the 2018 UK Rushlight Energy Reduction Award https://www.rushlightevents.com/rushlight-awards/background/roll-of-honour/ and attracted further funding of £1M for an Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator project from BEIS to develop a data centre super performance dew point cooler (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/industrial-energy-efficiency-accelerator-ieea/industrial-energy-efficiency-accelerator-projects-selected-for-phase-2)
