Patent Affirms the Energy-Efficiency of Mojave’s Liquid Desiccant System
Mojave Energy Systems, founded to change the nature of air conditioning, today announced that it has been granted a patent related to the design of the liquid desiccant regenerator that makes ArctiDry the world’s most energy-efficient commercial air conditioning system.
The Ultra Low Flow Desiccant Air Conditioning Systems Devices and Methods patent issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) relates to Mojave’s novel approach to regenerate liquid desiccant. The company’s flagship product ArctiDry is an innovative liquid desiccant air conditioner and dehumidifier that can operate in heat pump mode and includes supplemental heating options. This patent protecting its liquid desiccant regenerator design and application is key to Mojave’s unique ability to provide exceptional system efficiency and reliability by simplifying the overall system architecture.
“We are committed to creating innovation that makes sense and delivers important benefits for today’s businesses. This patent gives Mojave a clear advantage in the most critical aspect of producing a successful liquid desiccant air conditioner,” said Phil Farese, CEO of Mojave Energy Systems. “By regenerating the liquid desiccant with an air-to-liquid ratio at multiples lower than what has been done in the past, we achieve far greater efficiency with a simplified system that makes it more reliable and cost-effective for our customers.”
ArctiDry is ideal for Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) and dehumidification applications in healthcare, education, grocery, hospitality and manufacturing. With an unparalleled ISMRE2 efficiency rating of up to 11 lbs/kWh, ArctiDry is twice as efficient as conventional Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS), and more than double the Department of Energy (DOE) standards. Additionally, ArctiDry’s independent dew point and temperature control allows users to unlock building-wide energy savings by raising chiller temperatures or running dry coils.
Mojave holds a growing patent portfolio of more than 40 individual live patents or patent applications in the U.S. and abroad, including six issued U.S. patents.
Mojave’s ArctiDry requires significantly less electricity and produces lower carbon dioxide emissions than other comparable systems. ArctiDry can drop into existing HVAC infrastructure, requires minimal maintenance, and helps customers achieve Net Zero compliance.
About Mojave Energy Systems
Mojave produces novel liquid desiccant systems designed to change the nature of air conditioning by dramatically increasing energy efficiency and reducing the climate impact of AC. Mojave’s patented technology cools and dehumidifies the air, enabling the independent control of dew point and dry bulb. By focusing on dehumidification, lowering energy consumption, reducing refrigerant use, and improving indoor air quality for commercial buildings, Mojave’s ArctiDry product is an ideal solution for Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS). When compared to other alternatives on the market, ArctiDry offers a highly reliable, lowest cost-of-ownership product that reduces energy use by 40 to 60%.
