First Prototype

In 2013 the first prototype of freescoo was realized to test thermodynamic cycle and the first real functioning of the system. This prototype can already drive ventilation, dehumidification and cooling of air in a compact configuration.

The installation of this unit requires only air duct of delivery and recovery, one idraulic connection to the grid and one electric connection at 220V. Weight of the whole machine is around 150 kg, with a solar collector of 2 m². Maximum air flow rate is 500 m³/h; maximum electric comsumption is 200 W and maximum cooling power is 2,2 kW (T out=35°C; RH out=50%; T in=27°C; RH in=50%). Collected data obtained in hundreds hour of working have showed the validity of the concept and good performance of the prototype. Thanks to this first attempt and to collected data, it has been possible to find improvements and optimization of the technology to increase performance in successive machines.
