HAECO Cabin Solutions: Chiller System’s Water and Energy Efficiency


Challenge Overview
HAECO Cabin Solutions is looking for building-scale solutions to reduce energy and water consumption by replacing or retrofitting the existing chiller system. Besides chilling the air in the manufacturing plant, dehumidification is also a concern for HAECO Cabin Solution, as North Carolina faces a high degree of humidity in the air.
 
The innovations must have the potential to be applied in an efficient, cost-effective, practical, and scalable manner.
 
Solutions could include but are not limited to:

  • Novel refrigerants and alternatives, 
    including radiative cooling material

  • Improved air quality with an emphasis on
    dehumidification, including desiccants

  • Building façade integrated solutions

  • Renewables integrated solutions

Main Requirements
The solution will be applied in HAECO Cabin Solutions’ North Carolina facility, which comprises a warehouse and an assembly facility.
 
Except for dehumidification, there are no particular requirements with regards to air quality. 

What we are not interested in

Business-as-usual solutions such as variable speed compressors, heat-pump integrated solutions, and turnkey engineering services.

 

Closing date for applications

30 July 2023

 

How to apply

Please send an overview of the solution, how you will solve the problem, and a pitch deck about the company to adrien.dewalque@cleantech.com
