Project description
Low-energy, water-as-refrigerant chiller and ice-slurry generator
Cooling is an essential need that impacts individual social welfare, economic productivity and the greater sustainability of cities and communities. However, space cooling is a resource- and emissions-intensive process. With demand expected to triple over the next 30 years, a more sustainable method is needed to avert the worst effects of its certain growth. The EIC-funded DEOS project has a solution. Danish R&D firm STAC Technology has developed a low-energy, water-as-refrigerant chiller and ice-slurry generator, capable of delivering megawatt scale cooling output to district scale networks. STAC’s vapour-compression system will lower energy consumption by 40 %, reduce operational risk, eliminate indirect greenhouse gas emissions and produce a novel ice-slurry cooling medium that possesses 7x the cooling capacity of chilled water.
Objective
STAC Technology has designed and developed a breakthrough system that can solve a major sustainability issue surrounding the future of space cooling; how to grow access to this essential need while diminishing its terrible impact on the environment. Our patented water vapor driven turbo-compressor technology powers a potentially near-zero-emission, plug-and-play refrigeration system (DEOS) that produces a pumpable ice slurry with 7x the cooling capacity of existing solutions, delivering 40% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy consumption reduction by 10% compared to NH3 cooling and heating and 62% compared to HFC-cooled AC units.
Our system has been designed to exceed the performance and efficiency standards of current District Cooling (DC) and District Heating & Cooling (DHC) networks, bolster returns from existing networks, accelerate growth plans in underserved markets and deliver more sustainable cooling.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
