Grant: Idea to Innovation
University of Ottawa
$125,000.00
Membrane desiccant cooling hose
FY 2014-15
Summary
The goal of this project is to demonstrate the commercial potential of a membrane evaporative cooling technology developed at the University of Ottawa for personal cooling applications. Pending the successful demonstration of this technology, we will license it to a leading manufacturer of personal cooling technologies. The demonstration will involve integrating the technology into a commercially available personal cooling system used with Explosive Ordinance Device (EOD) bomb suits, in order to demonstrate improved performance, particularly in hot environments where the efficiency of similar technologies are greatly reduced and/or limited.After a successful demonstration of the technology, we will develop a research collaboration and technology license with Med-EngHoldings, ULC, an Ottawa based supplier of protective gear and cooling systems for Military and Law Enforcement markets.
