Global Cooling has just been awarded a $1 million dollar grant from the State of Ohio’s Third Frontier Advanced Energy Program. The grant money will be used to develop a new FPSC, with more than 6 times the capacity of current machines and is designed to compete directly with cascade-compressor systems in the -80°C to -150°C Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) Freezer Industry. The new machine will offer about 250W (850Btu/h) at -100°C and about 100W (341Btu/h) at -170°C of heat lift capacity and will usher in a new era in the ULT Freezer industry with long term reliability and unparalleled energy savings and temperature control.

Global Cooling’s newest portable freezer, the SC-UL25, is scheduled for public release in late Q4 2008. The new freezer will be capable of reaching temperatures below -95°C while drawing power from an automobile 12VDC cigarette lighter. Maximum power consumption is typically around 150-180Watts (comparable to headlights). The unit currently weighs in at less than 35lbs and has a cargo capacity of just under 1cu.ft..This revolutionary new product allows for unprecedented new capability in the Ultra-Low Temperature Transport and Storage industries and will be the first in a complete line of FPSC based ULT freezers scheduled to be released over the next 24-36 months.

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!

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.
