Latest Updates!! March 3, 2008 The latest version of Global Cooling's revolutionary new Ultra-Low temperature Freezer, The SC-UL25, was unveiled at the Pittcon 2008 show in New Orleans. The newest version has been upgraded with VIP insulation and an increased cargo volume. Now a 25L (0.9 cu ft) capacity with a low temperature capability of -92 degrees C vs. the original SC-UL20's 20L (0.7 cu ft) and -80 deg C capability and expanded foam insulation. This enhancement was accomplished without changing the exterior envelope or system mass. The current beta prototypes are undergoing final modifications and testing with product launch scheduled for Q4 2008. The new SC-UL25 provides precision temperature control, programmable rate cooling and an integrated heating element to provide not only the Worlds first truly portable Ultra-Low temperature freezer but also the Worlds first truly portable environment chamber capable of temperatures ranging from -92 deg. C to 110 deg C. The SC-UL25 requires only 12V DC 12.5A input power and uses less than 150W of power to maintain an internal temperature of -80 deg C in a 25 deg C environment. In fact, the new SC-UL25 can be powered by most standard cigarette lighter/Accessory ports available in modern automobiles. This puts the total power consumption of the SC-UL25 at an order of magnitude below the typical power consumption of small -80 deg C class freezers!
July 8, 2007 Global Cooling unveiled its newest example of an FPSC powered product. The InterPack 07 Conference in Vancouver, BC was the venue for the first public glimpses of the new SC-UL20 Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) freezer. The prototype version of the new ULT freezer was demonstrated to maintain internal temperatures in its 20 Liter cargo area below -80 degrees C in a 25 degree C ambient. The entire unit weighs less than 40lbs and consumes about the same amount of energy as a 100W light bulb (less than a tenth of the power consumption of competing systems)! The unit uses only two inches of non-CFC foam insulation and is easily carried by one person! Production versions are slated to be upgraded to vacuum insulated panel (VIP) insulation and be able to reduce the temperature of a 25 Liter payload to -100 degrees C using the same amount of power. The SC-UL25 will usher in a new era in ULT freezers allowing for quiet, compact, high efficiency designs to become standard in the industrial and biomedical industries. More Details to Follow.
February 2007 Global Cooling has begun development of a Fuel Fired Home Heating/Cooling System in cooperation with an EU consortium and other domestic and foreign investors. The new system will be capable of utilizing Primary Energy to provide heating and cooling to residential homes. Additionally the system can be configured to recover heat normally wasted into the atmosphere to provide domestic hot water and/or radionic heating. The new system can also generate a small amount of electricity that can be used to drive the associated pumps and fans needed to distribute the conditioned air allowing for autonomous operation. The new system is hoped to be ready for field trials within 2 years and full commercial availability in 3. January 2006
FPSC Used for Electronics Cooling! In many military and commercial applications, it is not uncommon for electronics to be exposed to conditions far outside the temperatures ranges they were designed for. It has become a goal of our Military to shorten the integration cycle of the newest electronics into our combat ready units. To this end there is a strong push to leverage commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics. In order to keep these non-hardened electronics operating in the extreme conditions seen by the armed forces, active cooling must be used. Enter the FPSC, offering long life, high efficiency, compact packages and the ability to operate in extreme conditions. Military needs and FPSCs seem to be a match made in heaven. In some commercial applications, the conditions can become so harsh that no current electronics packages can survive for any practical amount of time. To combat this, active cooling must be used to control the temperatures seen by the electronics. Global Cooling is now finalizing designs for several FPSC machines, to be used to cool electronics/computers in extreme environments. This technology is hoped to be filtered down to consumer applications where Personal Computers are actively cooled and thereby able to increase their stable clock speeds by 3-6 times. This will allow for packaging and performance beyond the capabilities of any other current hardware system. This boost will benefit a wide variety of computer systems, including improved productivity for high-end scientific and engineering work stations, CAD systems and, of course, faster gaming! |

 John Ericsson, the inventor of marine screw propellers and gun turreted warships and the designer of the famous civil war era Monitor was also the inventor of the high performance wire mesh regenerator used in modern Stirling engines and cooling machines. Indeed, the largest Stirling engine ever constructed was designed by Ericsson for use in the ship of the same name Ericsson. Even more amazing is that he constructed the first solar driven Stirling engine using a parabolic reflector in about 1870.
