Summary:
The Czech technological start-up, established in 2017, has developed, manufactures and installs a patented decentralized heat recovery ventilation unit. The unit is unique with its easy installation and wide range of uses for different types of buildings. The company offers six designs of its patented technology in the domestic market and is looking for a partner in foreign markets to establish a commercial agency agreement.
Description:
The start-up company, based in the central Bohemia close to Prague, is focused on development and production of air ventilation systems. The start-up benefits from the many years of experience of its founders with the development of air-conditioning and ventilation equipment and from close cooperation with the Czech Technical University.
Main product of the company is an innovative decentralised heat recovery ventilation (HRV) unit exceptional in its high efficiency, operational reliability and small dimensions of the tube-shaped body of the unit. The HRV unit ensures the exchange of 15 - 40 m3 of air with an efficiency of 88 - 94% heat recovery. The operating temperature range of -15 to 45 °C is sufficient for most regions and the noise level in the range of 14 - 32 dB guarantees uninterrupted operation of ventilated rooms.
The new ventilation unit is characterized by patented cylindrical revolving exchanger, which is housed in the cylindrical body of the unit. The unit is then seated in a cylindrical hole in the wall of the ventilated room. By rotational positioning of the heat exchanger, the inlet and outlet channels can be alternated without regulation by gate valves. Alternating the channels makes possible to prevent condensation of moisture and its freezing without additional heating. Heat exchanger technical solution was created in the framework of development cooperation with the university within the national research project.
Now the technology is manufactured by the company and is succesfully rolled out on the domestic market. The application of this technology is wide - from households, offices, businesses to public spaces. The new technology has the greatest benefit where the use of existing HRV units is complicated: for new and reconstructed high-rise buildings, for buildings with a limited possibility of structural modifications, etc.
The company intends to expand its distribution network abroad and is looking for partners in the field of sale and service of air ventilation systems for commercial agency agreement. Role of the partner will be to train on the new product and carry out sale, installation and after sale service. The potential partner will get the opportunity to work with a flexible and developing company and expand its portfolio with a new efficient technology with very easy installation, favourable prices and reliable operation.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for partners for commercial agency agreement. The ideal partner company should be a SME active in the sale, installation and servicing of HRV or ventilation systems operating throughout its region. The new partner will implement sales and technical representation for its region, so it is expected to be trained for installation and after-sales service of the new technology. In customer care, the partner company will work closely with the manufacturer of the equipment.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought:
The sought-after partner should have experience with the installation and servicing of air-conditioning and ventilation equipment for family houses, flats and apartment buildings. The prerequisite for cooperation is the interest in learning about a new product and its active sale to the customers.
