| Executive Summary: | Microstaq is the most innovative provider of electronic fluid automation solutions, leveraging micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and semiconductor technology to make radical improvements to some of the world’s most challenging energy efficiency problems. Silicon MEMS based fluid control solutions, which can be customized for virtually all fluid media, have applications in heating ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R), automotive, medical and industrial products and systems.
The company’s flagship technology is based upon the Microstaq Ventilum chip, an industry first technology that replaces bulky solenoids and other mechanical devices with an intelligent, miniature MEMS-based valve capable of the same level of fluid delivery. Because Microstaq owns the intellectual property that make this type of technology possible, companies wishing to enter into direct competition with Microstaq face significant barriers to entry. Currently Microstaq’s only competition is from traditional companies whose products are far less energy efficient, require a significantly larger engineering footprint, weigh an order of magnitude more and are far more susceptible to fatigue and failure.
Microstaq Silicon Expansion Valve (SEV) uses the VentilumTM chip and will enable a reduction of energy consumption in HVAC/R systems by 10-15 percent. |
