Hydrocool
Project
HYDROCOOL project will develop a novel cooling production concept. The solution is based on the hydraulic compression and expansion of CO₂ in a reversible cycle capable of delivering cooling for a wide range of application such as food, data centres or air conditioning [-40ºC;+12ºC]. By switching from solid to fluid dynamics, HYDROCOOL will enable both isothermal compressions using liquid piston fluid and energy recovery between expander and compressor.

The Challenge
Build a more efficient and lower-carbon cooling system using CO₂ (a natural refrigerant), by improving how CO₂ is compressed and expanded so it can work across very cold to mild temperatures (−40°C to +12°C).
The Outcome
In the HYDROCOOL Project, Inveniam Group assesses the techno-economic feasibility of the HydroCool system while supporting our dissemination, exploitation and communication activities.
