- Description
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. PNNL may also be available to licensee(s) to assist in further research and development of the technology under a SPP agreement, ACT agreement, or CRADA agreement. THE TECHNOLOGY: US Patent 8,795,412 is available for licensing. Metal organic framework (MOF) molecules could be used for a novel refrigerant cycle. A refrigerant is adsorbed on a bed containing MOFs at low pressure. An electrical potential is used to change the oxidation state of one or more transition metals in the MOFs, causing desorption of the refrigerant. Desorption raises the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, which can then pass through a throttling valve to chill the fluid. The chilled fluid is passed through an evaporator and absorbs heat. For all inquiries, please reference Battelle IPID 16580. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by e-mail) no later than thirty (30) days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company's business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license will be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiations. Please send letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this Notice, referencing Battelle IPID 16580.
