Fahrenheit, founded in 2002 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solare Energy Systems, specializes in adsorption cooling technology aimed at reducing ambient temperatures. The company's innovative approach harnesses excess heat from solar energy or industrial waste to evaporate water molecules attached to a zeolite crystal coating, thereby generating cold air. This technology, originally developed for solar cooling applications, has successfully expanded into a variety of sectors, establishing Fahrenheit as a leader in both market presence and technological innovation within the field. Committed to research and technological excellence, Fahrenheit provides environmentally friendly air cooling solutions that meet diverse customer needs.
Intelligent fluids
Series B in 2011
Intelligent fluids develops high-performance cleaning fluids based on a patented technology that combines gentle ingredients to create dynamic phase fluids tailored to specific needs. The fluids achieve cleaning effects through physical mechanisms rather than chemical dissolution, making them safe for users, equipment, and the environment. They are designed for microelectronics, electronics, optics, printing, industrial maintenance, and building protection, and are used for stripping, removing dirt, residues, coatings, and lacquer. The company pursues ongoing product development for its own line and collaborates on joint development agreements and private-label projects. In addition to established applications, the technology has potential in fields such as functional skincare and dental cosmetics. The approach aims to improve process efficiency and sustainability by offering alternatives to conventional solvents.
