Buildings

Windows account for about 10% of the total energy used in buildings. 

Walls have thermal resistance (R) values between 10 and 30, whereas single pane and double pane windows have R-values between 1 and 3.5, respectively. 

So, a lot more heat is lost from windows than walls in buildings. Energy efficient windows can reduce utility costs and carbon dioxide emissions. 

They would also enable the use of smaller, less expensive HVAC equipment, increase useful interior space and reduce electric grid energy demand. 

HAMFOP not only provides high R-value windows, it is the first technology to dynamically modulate window thermal resistance to minimize losses to or from any building. The technology is lower cost than standard 2-pane, 3-pane of Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) windows and existing buildings can be retrofitted. 

Power electronics failures are fairly common in EVs. This is because they run really hot (due to environment or driving mode), are extremely complex (many parts) and are becoming even more sensitive to operating conditions. 

With self-driving, an EV consumes even more power and the electronics need to be maintained at different temperatures to operate reliably. 

HAMFOP maintains the power electronics at constant temperature, regardless of environment or driving mode, without impacting range. 

A more efficient electric motor can improve EV range by ~5%, allowing the vehicle to travel further on the same battery capacity. [Ref]

Every 10°C increase in operating temperature halves the insulation life of an electric motor. [Ref]

Rapid acceleration can reduce EV range due to reduced electric motor efficiency by 20%. [Ref]

Axial Motors are becoming more popular due their compact shape. However, they face thermal management challenges. [Ref]

HAMFOP maintains the electric at constant temperature regardless of acceleration or speed, ensuring higher efficiency, longer life and improved range. 

"The single biggest drain on your battery range, other than actually driving, is climate control. 

Whether that’s keeping you cool in summer or toasty in winter, systems typically require about 3-4kW to run, which equates to seven miles of range per hour to run the air-con and five miles per hour to run heaters. That means over a three-hour summer holiday road trip, you’ll need to account for around 20 miles for the air conditioning". [Ref]

HAMFOP's unique technology minimizes the impact of HVAC usage on the driving range of the EV. Moreover, it improves the overall efficiency of the EV.
