CX-032462: Evaluation of Novel Desiccant Coatings in High Efficiency Portable Air Conditioners

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Transaera for development and evaluations of novel desiccant coatings in high-efficiency portable air conditioners. Award activities would occur over three budget periods (BP). BP1 would include concept design, exploration, generation of performance maps, development of a performance model in simulated environments, integrated modeling analysis, and concept trade studies. BP2 would include detailed design of prototypes, perform an at-scale cost estimate, construction and validation of prototypes, and preparation for testing.
