SOLAIR
SOLAIR is a thermal solar compressor
SOLAIR, THERMAL COMPRESSOR FOR FIXED HVACR AND VEHICLES
SOLAIR ENERGY - HVACR system uses up to 20% of a country total electricity. HVACR will have a huge impact on Global Warming as developing nations start using it more and more. SOLAIR is a thermal solar compressor that uses a modified Stirling engine working as a compressor and engine simultaneously. The disruptive innovation was to use the refrigeration gas as the working gas in the Stirling, so as the pistons move in the engine, it pressurises the refrigeration gas, leaving the work of the engine free to be used in electricity generation.
SOLAIR AUTOMOTIVE - Today's VEHICLES AC compressor uses the power of the engine to pressurise the refrigeration gas, using in the process up to 20% more fuel, thus impacting on green house effect. SOLAIR AUTOMOTIVE is a thermal compressor that uses the heat from the exhaust tailpipe in a modified Stirling engine working as the compressor for the AC.
