Colorado-based AtmosZero has closed a Assortment A funding spherical that may help it pace up the commercialization of its Boiler 2.0 experience. The air-sourced heat pump generates steam for industrial use and is perhaps combined with PV period and storage.
AtmosZero talked about it has raised $21 million in a Assortment A funding spherical. The company talked about it could use the funds to hurry up the commercialization of its Boiler 2.0 experience.
“Boiler 2.0 can merely be combined with PV power period and storage,” a corporation spokesperson talked about. “The tech runs off electrical power and it could not matter how {that electrical} power is created, merely that it’s there.”
Most industrial steam is generated by burning fossil fuels on-site in boiler applications. It is utilized in a selection of industries, from meals and drinks to chemical manufacturing, accounting for about 8% of world energy use.
“AtmosZero’s proprietary Boiler 2.0 experience extracts heat from the air and delivers high-temperature steam with essentially the most effectivity and 0 carbon emissions, allowing companies to change their current pure gas and oil boilers shortly and cost-effectively,” the spokesperson talked about.
The heat pump attracts 480 V of voltage in a three-phase configuration and will produce 650 kW of thermal energy, with an output motion of 997.9 kg/hr of saturated steam. Its output temperature-pressure ranges between 120 C/199.8 kPa and 165 C/701.7 kPa.
“The coefficient of effectivity (COP) of the system depends on the ambient temperatures along with the required steam temperature,” the spokesperson talked about. “We work together with prospects and perform specific evaluations to offer them a higher notion of anticipated effectivity. That being talked about, our purpose is a COP of two going from 15 C ambient to 150 C saturated steam.”
The system makes use of an unspecified refrigerant with “low world warming potential (GWP), flammability, and toxicity.” Its footprint is roughly 2.4 meters x 6.1 meters.
AtmosZero is in the mean time testing the system beneath a full-scale pilot deployed at a facility operated by US-based New Belgium Brewing Agency. Moreover not too way back launched a European subsidiary.
“Our first applications deploying in 2025 will produce 165 C and in 2026 we’re going to get hold of 200 C,” the spokesperson talked about.
