The Future of Industrial Cooling Maher Damak, Co-Founder & CEO, Infinite Cooling Infinite Cooling: https://www.infinite-cooling.com/
Cooling towers are ubiquitous in industrial and commercial settings. They are critical pieces of equipment but also major sources of energy and water consumption. They are used across a wide range of applications, including power generation, manufacturing, chemical processing, and HVAC systems for large buildings and data centers.
At Infinite Cooling, we begin with TowerPulse, our advanced sensors and software package that leverages physics-informed machine learning to optimize cooling tower operations. TowerPulse enables real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, ensuring optimal performance, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing operational downtime.
Building on this, our WaterPanel technology uses electrostatic fields to captures pure, demineralized water directly from cooling tower plumes. This innovative solution provides an alternative demineralized water source while eliminating visible plumes, helping facilities conserve water, lower costs, and reduce environmental impact. Together, these technologies address key sustainability and efficiency challenges in industrial cooling.
