Conventional air conditioners (ACs) consume significant amounts of electricity, generated mainly from**burning fossil fuels. AC and refrigeration units use almost 15% of the electricity produced globally. A surge in**global use of AC systems poise to place unparalleled demand on the energy supply and significantly curtail**global climate change plans. The proposed project aims to accelerate the development of an efficient and**compact sorption air conditioning (SAC) pre-market prototype which is driven by waste-heat (temperatures**below 80 °C) that is free and readily available from internal combustion engines, fuel cells, natural gas, or**other renewable sources such as solar thermal panels.**The proposed SAC system is comprised of a sorption bed and a combined evaporator-condenser unit,**assembled inside a sealed chamber. The focus of this development will be on clean transportation and net-zero**buildings, where reducing carbon footprint and sustainability is a key mandate. The project relies on the**integration of an advanced sorption unit and a patent-pending micro capillary-assisted low-pressure evaporator**technology, US provisional Patent Application, No. 62/623406. The project benefits from the participation of**market leaders in clean transportation: New Flyer Industries (a Manitoba bus manufacturer) and Ballard Power**Systems (a British Columbia technology leader in fuel cell buses). The proposed project includes development**of novel consolidated sorption materials, ultra-compact heat exchangers, and 3D printed prototype with strong**potentials for further intellectual property generation and market introduction of new sustainable energy**conversion systems that are beneficial to all Canadians and beyond.

传统的空调（ac）消耗大量的电力，主要来自燃烧化石燃料。空调和制冷设备使用了全球近15%的电力。全球交流系统使用的激增将对能源供应产生前所未有的需求，并显著减少全球气候变化计划。拟议的项目旨在加速开发高效紧凑的吸收式空调（SAC）上市前原型，该原型由废热（温度低于80°C）驱动，这些废热是免费的，可以从内燃机、燃料电池、天然气或其他可再生能源（如太阳能热板）中随时获得。**提议的SAC系统由一个吸收床和一个组合蒸发器-冷凝器单元组成，**组装在一个密封的腔室内。这一发展的重点将是清洁交通和净零建筑，减少碳足迹和可持续发展是一个关键任务。该项目依靠先进的吸附装置和正在申请专利的微毛细管辅助低压蒸发器技术的集成，美国临时专利申请号：62/623406。该项目得益于清洁交通市场领导者的参与：New Flyer Industries（马尼托巴巴士制造商）和Ballard Power Systems（不列颠哥伦比亚省燃料电池巴士技术领导者）。拟议的项目包括开发新型固结吸附材料、超紧凑热交换器和3D打印原型，这些原型具有强大的潜力，可以进一步产生知识产权，并在市场上引入新的可持续能源转换系统，使所有加拿大人都受益。
