Cooling Technology

As mentioned previously, TQT, is the first company that we will make an investment in. This is due to the following:

• We will be investing in the actual company at seed stage, so any further products that come out of the company, we will have an applicable shareholding

• It is very advanced with its RnD and development, which offers us a clear path for ROI and revenue share

• We will be able to use this product in our crowdfunding site and with our community have a global route to market which in turn offers a higher ROI to the investors

Further information about the technology can be found below:

The TQT units (which can be designed to retro-fit existing products) and TriTex™ textile / building blocks offer applications wherever heating and cooling is required.

TEC technology is initially being developed for use in air conditioning and temperature control, and offers a variety of advantages over conventional equipment in terms of:

• Cost - around 1/3 of conventional alternatives in the market

• Size - around the size of a coke can

• Efficiency - far lower power consumption than conventional alternatives which can reduce the demands on conventional energy sources and contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions globally (dependant on region, the Carbon offsetting may provide a secondary income steam from carbon trading credits)

• Durability – the TQT unit is solid state which significantly improves product reliability, with the only moving part being a fan which can be easily replaced, PCB’s with a 10- year lifespan, while the remaining engine components are expected to have a lifetime of at least 75 years.

TEC applications will be expanded in subsequent phases, and will offer solutions for a diverse range of areas spanning building design, industry, transportation, nanotech, medical, military, humanitarian and animal husbandry:

• Commercial building and residential housing design - the TriTex™ textile, fabric and/or building blocks can be used to change the way buildings are designed, turning floors and walls into natural radiators or cooling surfaces, freeing up usable space, and includes low cost cooling and heating and hot or cold water;

• Transportation – for use in vehicles (cars, trains, aircraft) and public areas;

• Refrigeration – redefining all existing products and offering portable, light and low energy refrigeration, especially suitable for medical transport, pharmaceutical storage, etc;

• Consumer electronics and nanotech – making the units significantly more efficient, lowering the maintenance cost and improving performance and life of microprocessors, etc;

• Animal husbandry – offers pet / animal wearable and tracking technologies;

• Civil Environment – applications include cooling or heating tents or other movable structures, through to wearable materials (i.e. a functioning light body suit/layer), which are applicable within normal as well as harsh environments (deserts, sub-zero climates, under water and in space) and offer a wide variety of civil and consumer applications; and

• Military Environment - there is interest being shown by NATO and US military contractors for TEC devices in terms of:

  • ‘in theatre’ cooling / AC (i.e. the USA military spends US$ 4.1 billion per annum in Iraq and Afghanistan which TEC could reduce the size by a factor of 20 and cost by a minimum of 60%); and

  • intelligent cooled body armour and environment based suits, for example for use in cold water diving or offering stealth applications.

Due to the very low levels of power consumption, the TEC products will also provide solutions in remote sites through the application of solar power cells to generate cooling / heating, and the TQT units can also be modified to dehumidify the surrounding air and condense water to provide a drinkable water supply as a side product.
