Hello, I'm Rick Gillan,
President of Coolerado Corporation.
Welcome to Coolerado.
Coolerado is fresh, cool,
filtered air conditioning
that is affordable to install
and operate.
Coolerado brings high quality cooling
to your home or building
like you have never experienced before.
With traditional refrigeration or
compressor based air conditioners
you recirculate the same stale air again and again.
Recirculating the air
in this manner
concentrates the carbon dioxide people exhale
making them sleepy and lethargic.
Recirculating can also dry the air out too much
adding to an uncomfortable environment.
This Technology has been around for over a hundred years
and has not significantly changed during that time.
With evaporative coolers,
which are more commonly called swamp coolers,
you get blasted with unfiltered air
that is nearly saturated with water.
This high volume, high humidity air
containing dust and mold
is blown into your building
and can make an environment -that is also uncomfortable.
Direct evaporation technology
has been around for thousands years.
At Coolerado, we take a different approach.
Coolerado coolers bring you
fresh, cool, filtered air conditioning
that is affordable to install and operate.
Instead of recirculating the same stale air over and over,
Coolerado adds 50 to 100 percent fresh, cool, and filtered air.
Coolerado air is conditioned to temperatures
lower than evaporative coolers
and no moisture is added to the air entering the building.
Coolerado brings this high quality, conditioned air to you
using 1/5 as much energy as traditional air conditioners
with out chemical refrigerants
or expensive compressors.
Coolerado cooling is made possible
by a newly discovered thermodynamic process called
the Maisotsenko cycle.
The M-cycle, which uses water as the fuel for cooling,
is the result of 35 years of work
by Dr. Valeriy Maisotsenko.
This is a small Coolerado cooler that we use
to demonstrate the principles of the Maisotsenko cylce and Coolerado cooling.
This simple cooler consists of a fan,
a dust and allergen air filter,
a Coolerado heat and mass exchanger,
and a clear plastic box.
We start by adding fuel to the heat and mass exchanger.
This is just ordinary tap water that is at room temperature.
Before I plug in this air conditioner,
let me point out that the only componant that recieves power is this little fan.
We have four thermometers, which have been sitting on this desk awhile,
and have come to equilibrium.
They all read about 65 to 67 degrees.
We'll place two of the thermometers
in the chamber of the fan
to get a reading of the air temperature
before it reaches the heat and mass exchanger.
We'll place the other two thermometers
in the product air stream.
Now, we'll add some heat
with this little personal heater
to simulate some hot summer conditions.
While we wait for this system
and thermometers to stabilize,
let me describe what's happening here
and how a bigger version of this little cooler
could be installed in the outside of your home or building.
The Coolerado cooler
draws in air from the outside
in an entrance here,
the air than goes through an air filter
before it goes into the heat and mass exchanger.
Half of the incoming air goes straight through
the top portion of the heat and mass exchanger
and is cooled without adding moisture to it!
This fresh, filtered, and cooled air gets ducted into your building from here.
The other half of the incoming air,
is the working air stream,
and it enters into the lower portion of the heat and mass exchanger.
The working air is than turned
and gets rejected out the top
where it is discharged to the outside.
This rejected or working air stream
removes the heat from the conditioned air stream that enters the building.
The working air stream is almost completely saturated with water,
because water is fueling the cooling process.
All the water and humidity comes out the top.
No water or moisture is added to the conditioned air that enters the building.
We'll zoom in here so that you can see
where the working air is leaving the top.
The working air stream is completely saturated with water.
Notice that moisture from the working air
is condensing on the clear housing at this end of the demo cooler.
Moisture collects here because the temperature of the box
is below the dew point temperature
of the first portion of the working air stream.
This air stream is very hot at the beginning of the unit
and gets cooler, and cooler
as it works its way toward the end.
At this end, the working air is still saturated with water,
but the air is much cooler.
Let me again remind you
that the product air stream leaving this end
is the same absolute humidity
as the air coming in this end.
No moisture is added.
We've given this demostration
to many experts around the world,
They were taught that what we're doing
is physically impossible
and, therefore, find it difficult to believe.
That is why we build our demonstration coolers out of a clear material.
This way, all can see that there are no illusions going on.
When we give this demonstration to industry experts,
we usually ask what is the largest temperture depression
you've seen across one cooling device?
The answer is 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let's take a look at the thermometers now.
The hot air we're bringing in here
measures about 156 to 157 degrees Fahrenheit.
The conditioned air coming out here
measures about 53 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's approximately a 100 degree temperature drop.
That 100 degree temperature drop
has occured in 13 inches of distance.
When we view this Coolerado Cooler
through a thermal imaging camera,
we can see the hot, 150 degree air
entering the heat and mass exchanger
represented in red on the left.
We can also see how the air gets cooled down to 50 degrees
Fahrenheit as it moves towards the opposite end.
The US Department of Energy
has tested two different Coolerado Coolers
and both reports show
that the Energy Efficiency Ratio or EER
is above 45.
The higher EER number represents
higher electrical efficiency and lower energy use.
A Coolerado Cooler with an EER of 45
is about 5 times more efficient
than the best vapor compression systems on the market.
Coolerado Coolers bring you
fresh, cool, filtered air conditioning
that is affordable to install
and affordable to operate.
This high quality cooling is fueled by water,
which is a completely renewable energy source.
Coolerado is tapping into water as an energy source
by employing the Maisotsenko Cycle.
This comfortably cooled air is produced
without compressors or chemical refrigerants,
and only uses 1/5 the amount of power compared to traditional air conditioners.
We are very excited to bring this people-friendly,
building-friendly
environmently-friendly
and affordable cooling to all of humanity!
Thank you for your interest in Coolerado.
We invite you to view the next video titled
Coolerado Cooling Basics.
Where we will explore how the cooler
and heat and mass exchangers work, in more detail.
