Nanocap Technologies has announced the latest, highly-advanced iteration of its Nanocap Process, combining capillary condensation and osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane to dry air. Available for immediate licensing, this green process is considerably more efficient than the most common vapor compression model which requires cooling to dehumidify — in use since air conditioning was invented by Willis Carrier in 1902.

The current system squanders a large amount of energy, while Nanocap's transformative process avoids this waste by separating the cooling process from the dehumidification process. The Nanocap Process may be viewed here.

Benefits

• Substantial, positive environmental impact
• Utilizes existing, proven technology, within architecture developed through cooperation with global leaders in the production of membrane filtration
• Improved reliability
• Semi-modular design
• Increased customer satisfaction

Energy Savings 

• Energy savings of 20-35% possible during typical air conditioning use
• Helps meet current and future efficiency standards
• Air is dried separate from the cooling process
• Energy-intense air conditioning would not be needed when only dehumidification is desired

Increased Customer Comfort and Satisfaction 

• Environmentally friendly
• Lower operating costs
• Humidity control is independent of cooling so air is neither too warm nor too cold
• "Comfort-stat" will have humidistat and thermostat separated for individual comfort
• Air won't be "muggy" in very humid spaces
• Noise levels may be significantly reduced    
• Add-in health benefits. No bacterial growth, no harsh chemicals that get entrained in the air causing respiratory illness, etc.

Lower Costs 

• Standard air conditioning cycle is used to cool dehumidified air only when needed
• Dehumidifier may be incorporated in air conditioning systems either as embedded technology during the manufacturing process or as a retrofit to existing systems
