State of the art products and performance
 As a result of market analysis further improvements and
developments of HVAC ductwork will have to come in the
field of :
 Energy efficiency
 Cost efficiency
 Health and Safety
 Health and Safety becomes more important

Energy efficiency
 A need for a new type of inorganic insulation material
 Better performing than traditional materials as rockwool and glasswool.
 Hydrophobic
 Resistant to salt and chemicals
 Etc…

Cost efficiency
 A need for a new type of inorganic insulation material
 Raw materials at lower cost
 Preparation of the material at lower cost
 Applying the insulation material to the airducts at lower cost by spraying or
injection

Cost efficiency
 Need for a cost efficient way to clean airducts
 Environmental friendly cleaning technology

Health and Safety
 A need for a new type of fire resistant insulation material
 All existing foams are based on organic components, combustible!
 Existing non-combustible insulation material with organic binders

Health and Safety
 Need for new products that will provide higher quality of
ventilated air
 Breakdown of bacteria and fungi
 Breakdown of VOC’s

NANO-HVAC project
 After summary of market needs start of the proposal of the
project with 3 subprojects :
 High performing, low cost, fire resistant, sprayable insulating material
 Coating for easy cleaning of the HVAC ducts
 Coated filter with energy efficient UV LED system for breakdown of bacteria,
fungi and VOC’s.
 NANO-HVAC funded by EC under FP7 program GA no : 314212
Novel Nano-enabled Energy Efficient and Safe HVAC ducts and systems

Penetration, potential growth
 Insulating material
 We see a lot of potential in the ship industry
 Non combustible, fire resistant (very important in ship building),
hydrophobic, high performing (lower insulating thickness, lower volume,
very important in ship building), salt resistant

Penetration, potential growth
 Coating for easy cleaning :
 Potential in commercial building where cleaning will not or less disturb
activities during cleaning.

Penetration, potential growth
 Coated filter with UV LED system anti bacterial, anti fungal,
breakdown of VOC’s
 Big potential for hospitals (surgery rooms) and homes for elderly people
where people are very vulnerable to bad air quality.
 It is obvious that this application will quickly find its way to residential
application
