#### ✨ cSNAP: Evaporative Cooling

We are reimagining air-conditioners to meet increasing global cooling demand while combatting climate change. Our novel evaporative cooling technology, cSNAP, uses advanced materials science and design to make affordable, environmentally-positive eco-friendly air conditioners that work in most climates without the use of synthetic refrigerants. cSNAP’s innovation is a multi-chambered ceramic heat exchange unit that is strategically coated with a proprietary material that isolates moisture from air as it’s cooled, reducing the temperature without adding humidity to the air.
