The FREED Project aim to support start-up and SME’s to utilise and develop innovative energy technologies is coming to fruition. The Western Development Commission recently signed contracts with Proair Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems, a Galway based company, to advance the product TRL level of their Proair Indoor Climate Control System (PAICCS).

PAICCS

The PAICCS is the next generation Combined Heating and Heat Recovery System and this innovative concept can revolutionise how houses are heated and ventilated and be disruptive to traditional systems such as radiators and under-floor. The secret behind PAICCS is a cleverly configured air to air mini heat pump which leverages much higher than normal performance from an air to air plate exchanger. This combined arrangement has the capacity, in certain conditions to produce a coefficient of performance of >10. This is more than double its closest competing system.
