AbstractBy Conor Dennehy Sosebee
The Modulating Preheat System (MPS) presents a groundbreaking solution to ventilation challenges in cold climates, particularly in regions like Alaska where frost accumulation and moisture condensation pose significant issues. By integrating a heat exchanger core and an adaptive defrost strategy, the MPS ensures continuous ventilation without sacrificing energy efficiency. Its innovative design, featuring an insulated box with filter slots, a heating coil, and an integral controller, allows for precise modulation of heat output based on environmental conditions, effectively preventing frost formation and maintaining optimal indoor air quality.
Targeting residential homeowners, commercial building managers, and ventilation system manufacturers, the MPS addresses a critical need for efficient ventilation solutions in cold climates. In Alaska, where respiratory health concerns and high utility costs are prevalent, the MPS offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional preheating methods. Its adaptive controller and flexible heat source distinguish it from existing options, providing superior performance and usability in a wide range of applications.
With provisional patents secured and positive feedback from industry professionals, the MPS is positioned for market entry and widespread adoption.
