is a 21st century cooling cycle developed at Dais which continues to show strong promise to reduce energy usage
and CO₂ emissions up to 50%¹ over today’s typical forms of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment
(HVAC/R). NanoAir, powered by Dais’ Aqualyte™ nano-structured family of materials is a tailored mechanical process
capable of addressing the shortcomings of the energy intense, environmentally harmful, century-old, refrigerant-based
vapor compression cycle. NanoAir uses no harmful refrigerants, has an ability to independently control temperature and
humidity, and offers utility in most any climate.*
Material Description:
 Nanostructured high charge density electrolyte membrane
Key technical attributes:
 Hermetic (solid state permeation, no pores to clog)
 Selective absorption (transfers H2O, not O2 or N2)
 High moisture transfer rate
 High dielectric constant
Proven and commercially produced
A Clean Technology Solution For a Growing Global Market
NanoAir controls moisture separately from temperature using water as the “working fluid” thereby eliminating CFC
and HCFC refrigerants that are major contributors to greenhouse gases. NanoAir provides a 21st Century clean
technology solution to the estimated $189 billion global HVAC market.
While NanoAir is a flexible HVAC/R system, its components are adaptable for many other large markets. For
instance, it can replace existing dehumidification, humidification, heat pump, and refrigeration products and has
utility wherever control of temperature and humidity are important, including the transportation and food
industries.
Advancing Toward Commercialization*
Named as one of Forbes’ “12 Energy Projects to Watch in 2012”,1 Dais continues
to bring its NanoAir technology to commercialization with the assistance from
U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Having
recently completed its work under the DoE’s Advanced Research Projects
Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) research grant, Dais is poised to continue to advance
NanoAir under a program jointly sponsored by ARPA-E and the DoD’s Naval
Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) beginning mid-2013.2
Next Generation System*
NanoAir™ Architecture
Key Benefits*
 Water is the “working fluid” - no fluorocarbon refrigerants
or desiccants, useful in most climates
 Independent control of temperature, and humidity
 Energy efficient (SEER greater than 30)*
 Uses Dais' commercially available nanomaterials
Dais is leveraging the success of its Aqualyte™
nano-materials in its four time award winning,
high efficiency, fixed-plate ConsERV™ Energy
Recovery Ventilator (ERV) by expanding its
materials and tailored processes deeper into the
energy intensive HVAC/R market.
NanoAir continues to demonstrate its prowess
over existing energy hungry and environmentally
harmful HVAC/R equipment by using the
attributes of Dais’s advanced nanomaterials to
more efficiently manage increasingly demanding
HVAC needs while reducing a building’s
operating costs providing a new level of healthy,
indoor living comfort.
