Seeking technologies or solutions for rapid air drying

Haier seeks technologies or approaches that can rapidly dry air and reduce air humidity level.    Background Chest freezers can experience frost formation on the internal surfaces. The frost thickness can reach 5-10 mm within 1 week and can affect the heat transfer efficiency and energy consumption. Over time the frost thickness can also reduce the available storage space and cause inconvenience to consumers who must periodically remove the frost. Tests show that the frost layers mainly concentrate on the lower part of the cabinet and its liner with a frost formation rate of 10g per day (the compressor keeps on for 10 minutes and then keeps off for 14 minutes). We are now seeking for technologies or solutions that can rapidly reduce air humidity level when air flow passes.

The use of pads or capsules containing coffee grounds or tea leafs for the storage and generation of fresh, high quality hot beverages is a convenient and already well established technology. Numerous devices and different set ups are on the market, the technology of which could also be used to extract other foodstuffs/edibles (e.g. herbs or dried viands) in order to generate (hot) beverages and provide the customer with freshly made infusions. HealthpressoTM aims to create a product that allows people to experience health and healthcare in a convenient and pleasure providing way. By applying specific proprietary membranes with a special feature of a pressure-dependent membrane valve, high pressure extractions can be carried out. The extraction pressure is determined by the membrane pore size and the applied surface energy. Depending upon the specific needs for the extraction goods membranes with variable membrane valve characteristics can be applied, allowing extracting multiple herbs at their optimum pressures in one capsule. The proprietary capsule design offers a ‘no-drip’ feature (PoP done).

Seeking partners with technologies or methods to remove pesticides from fruit and vegetables during storage within a refrigerator.

We seek partners with technologies or methods to remove pesticides from fruit and vegetables during storage within a refrigerator. Preference will be given to technologies or approaches that currently have working prototypes that can undergo feasibility, validation or proof of concept over a 3-6month period. Financial support for the proof of concept phase will be negotiated based on specific performance targets agreed between both parties. For selected collaborators Haier may provide access to samples, test equipment and testing facilities. Technologies will need to satisfy manufacturability, material cost and ease of use assessments to progress from the concept stage.
