A Smart Way to Cooling

The Problem:

Why Traditional Cooling is Wasteful

Think about your home air conditioner or refrigerator. It works hard, turning on and off constantly, especially on a hot day. This start-and-stop cycle is not just noisy—it’s inefficient.

Most cooling systems are like a sprinter trying to run a marathon: they use a burst of maximum energy, stop to rest, and then sprint again. This wastes power, causes wear and tear, and makes it hard to maintain a perfectly steady temperature.

Our Big Idea:

Decoupling the Effort from the Result

AquaSmart’s core innovation is elegantly simple. We asked: “What if we could separate the hard work of making cold from the simple job of using cold?”

Imagine filling a large, super-insulated thermos with ice-cold water. You use a lot of energy once to make the ice and fill the thermos. Then, for hours, you can pour cold drinks for everyone without using any more energy. The “cold” is stored and ready to use.

AquaSmart does exactly this, but on an industrial scale. Our system creates a reservoir of intensely cold liquid—a “cold battery” or “thermal capacitor.”

The AquaSmart Cycle:

Pulse and Coast

Our system operates in two distinct phases, a method protected by our patents:

The Efficient Pulse: Charging the Battery
Our high-efficiency compressor works at its optimal speed to deeply chill a special, food-safe fluid down to very low temperatures. This is the “pulse.” It runs in one efficient, sustained effort—like the sprinter finding a perfect, steady pace.

The Productive Coast: Using the Stored Cold
Once the “cold battery” is fully charged, the main compressor turns off completely. For hours, ultra-cold fluid is gently circulated from this reservoir to where it’s needed—whether to a coil to condense water from air, or to cool a room or a server rack. This is the “coast” phase, where the system delivers cooling with the main compressor idle.

Repeat. As the stored cold is used up, the system seamlessly starts another efficient “pulse” to recharge, and the cycle continues.

What This Means for You:

The Clear Benefits

Because our system isn’t constantly starting and stopping, it delivers tangible advantages:

For Water Generation (AWG)

Uses Far Less Electricity

By avoiding constant compressor cycling, our AWG systems can use 40-60% less energy to produce the same amount of water as conventional models. This means a lower cost per liter.

Works Reliably in Any Climate

The deep, sustained cold allows us to efficiently pull water from the air even in moderate humidity, not just tropical conditions.

Quiet and Long-Lasting

Fewer compressor cycles mean less noise and less mechanical stress, leading to greater reliability and a longer system life.

For Cooling (HVAC & Industrial)

Slashes Energy Bills

Our Zimno cooling systems provide the same cooling power while consuming significantly less electricity, cutting operational costs.

Provides Unwavering Precision

The steady flow of cold allows for extremely stable temperature and humidity control, crucial for sensitive environments like server rooms or laboratories.

Simplifies Installation

Our liquid-based system is often easier and less invasive to install than traditional refrigerant-based systems, especially in complex buildings.

Why It’s a Smarter Design

Traditional systems are coupled: the act of making cold and delivering it happen at the same time, tied to an inefficient on/off switch.

AquaSmart systems are decoupled. We make cold efficiently in batches, store it, and deliver it smoothly on demand. This fundamental architectural difference is why we achieve such dramatic efficiency gains

Proven in the Most Demanding Places

This isn’t just a theory. Our “pulse and coast” technology is already operating in some of the world’s most challenging environments, chosen by clients for whom reliability and efficiency cannot be compromised.
