Cooling, solidified.

High-efficiency, low-emission cooling systems, starting with refrigeration.

A better way to cool.

Pascal builds cooling systems around solid refrigerants: leak-free, nonflammable materials that heat and cool in response to changes in pressure.

Cooling without HFC refrigerants.

Solid refrigerants replace the HFC gases used in conventional cooling systems, removing a source of direct greenhouse gas emissions.

Designed for practical use.

Our materials operate at pressures used in conventional refrigeration. We’re designing systems around familiar industrial components as we develop the technology for commercial use.

Off the bench, into the world.

We’ve built four fully functional solid refrigerant cooling systems, with more in the works.

She is holding a small object and appears focused. In the background, there are shelves with various boxes and tools, illuminated by fluorescent lighting.

Starting with beverage cooling.

Our first applications focus on small beverage coolers, and we’re preparing for commercial pilots now. We’re also developing larger chilled-water systems for commercial air conditioning, industrial cooling, data centers, and beyond.

We’re building better cooling, together.

Our materials scientists and engineers work side by side to turn new refrigerants into systems that can meet everyday cooling needs.
