- This novel dew point air cooler achieves a coefficient of performance nearly three times that of current designs and requires up to 90% less power. This research led to several grants including: EU (DEW-COOL 2008-220079), EPSRC (EP/M507830/1) and Innovate UK (70507 - 481546). It won the WSSET innovation award 2018 (https://www.wsset.org/news-events/awards/innovation-awards) and UK Rushlight Innovation Award (https://www.rushlightevents.com/rushlight-awards/background/roll-of-honour/). Negotiations have begun for technology transfer under license to Aolan (China) (http://www.aolan-china.com/news_view.aspx?TypeId=4&Id=456). It has been installed in Sinogreen’s factory (xwding_66948@163.com) and is currently being installed in Hull Fire Services and AIC UK data centres funded by a BEIS Carbon Trust Programme (https://www.carbontrust.com/our-projects/the-beis-industrial-energy-efficiency-accelerator-ieea.
