3|5|2010 Cleantech Forum: A New Way to Wire Lights, CO2-Powered Air Conditioning and Algae Nets

Finally this morning, do you ever notice how cold a carbon dioxide cartridge gets after it is discharged? Frost forms on the side. EcoThermics says it can harvest that same power to help air conditioners and hot water heaters.

It has created a system that can compress carbon dioxide to 1,800 psi. The compression chamber is then surrounded with heat exchangers. As the carbon dioxide gets compressed, the chamber gives off tremendous amounts of heat. That heat is funneled into heating or plumbing systems to create hot water, which can get as hot as 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
