Current shipboard air movement equipment used to cool equipment and provide ventilation for personel are a source of noise in the operating environment and energy inefficient. This proposal describes a new air movement system utilizing Kronos Technology as an alternative air movement equipment on ships. At completion of Phase I a prototype shall be delivered for evaluation. A demonstration to cool electronic equipment is proposed to demonstrate this capability. Finally, a study to implement Kronos Technology in ventilation and equipment cooling shall be accomplished.
Benefits: Air movement devices utilizing Kronos Technology will be low-noise, low maintenance, flexible and adaptable. Combining air movement and purification allows for lower acquisistion costs, and reduced life cycle operating costs. Potential commercial applications include air purification and filtration systems, air filtration for unique spaces, specialized military colling applications, and embedded cooling for equipment.
