AWARD-WINNING AIR CONDITIONER COOLING TECHNOLOGY
COOL 4 SEA
Has developed an award-winning and patented cooling technology for ships. It is the only solution in the world that also works when the ship is not levelled, which is often the case at sea. The cooling is powered by waste heat from the ship’s engines.
COOL 4 INDUSTRY
Brings our energy-saving technology ashore. It can be used in all facilities that produce waste heat. You and the environment have already paid for that produced heat once. And by recycling it, you reduce the electricity consumption that would otherwise needed for cooling, either technical cooling in the industrial process or air conditioning systems. The technology adapts to the industrial process inclusive batch processes or processes with high fluctuations.
DEVELOPED AT SIMAC — SVENDBORG INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ACADEMY
COOL4 SEA & INDUSTRY was founded in 2015 on the basis of a comprehensive study project that took place at SIMAC — Svendborg International Maritime Academy in the years 2013-2015.
The project was carried out by a team of students who have won a number of prestigious awards for their pioneering innovation:
- Start Up Programme 2014
- JA Europe Enterprise Challenge 2014
- Hyundai Young Brilliant Entrepreneurs Award 2014
- Youth Entrepreneurship Award 2015
THE PROJECT HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING
In recent years, COOL4 SEA & INDUSTRY has received funding from a number of Danish and European development funds:
- SME Instrument
- InnoBooster
- Den Danske Maritime Fond
- Energi Fyns Udviklingsfond
- Sydfyns Elforsynings Almennyttige Fond
- Miljø- og energifonden
- Fonden for Entreprenørskab
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL PILOT PHASE
COOL4 SEA & INDUSTRY received commitments from Horizon 2020’s SME Instrument in 2016 and the European Commission Framework Program for Research and Innovation.
The grants funded a 2-year demonstration project which involved, among other things, a pilot project in collaboration with the shipping company Scandlines.
TESTED IN 70 DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL SCENARIOS
The demonstration project culminated in 2018 with an intensive test run in which a full-scale demonstration model was tested in 70 different operational scenarios. This test was the conclusion of the demonstration and the project of developing the technology.
Today, COOL4 SEA & INDUSTRY has a strong group of owners, which includes C.C.JENSEN, a leader in oil filtration solutions for a wide range of industries, including the maritime industry.
