Hoowaki

Improved Heat Transfer Through Surface Area Control, Ice Mitigation

Hoowaki engineered surfaces enhance heat transfer efficiency by increasing surface area, creating boundary layer flow turbulence, and changing surface tension properties.

We have demonstrated 5x increased evaporation rate and 2x increased boiling heat transfer rate on metal surfaces.  Our technology pushes heat transfer performance beyond what conventional machining and materials can do alone.  How can Hoowaki heat transfer surfaces transform your product's performance?

Some projects we are working on are:

  • Refrigeration
  • Residential and industrial air conditioning units (HVAC)
  • Automotive heat transfer
  • Industrial heat transfer
