[{"type":"text","content":"GMG Announces Independently Verified Heat Transfer and Energy Savings Results from THERMAL-XR(R)Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2023) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (\"GMG\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to release further results of Energy Savings Tests on a 4.3kw refrigeration system and Heat Transfer demonstrations on Aluminium and Copper. The results provide additional confidence in the potential benefits of THERMAL-XR® (TXR) in a range of applications. ENERGY SAVINGS WHEN THERMAL-XR® APPLIED TO A NEW CONDENSER COILIn their ISO-approved facilities, GMG's testing partner Supercool Asia Pacific Pty Ltd undertook two comparison tests to assess the impact of TXR in enhancing the operating efficiency of a cooling system. The equipment used in the tests was a new customised 4.3kW Refrigeration Unit with an electronic expansion valve with variability disabled (Figure 1 outlines the test room layout). The pre-TXR-treated condenser coil had an existing industry standard coating (as seen in Figure 2), on which tests were run. This condenser coil was then coated with TXR (as seen in Figure 2) and the same tests were run again.Figure 1: Test room for both comparison testsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/168332_gmg_fig1_550.jpgFigure 2: Condenser Coil Prior to THERMAL-XR® Coating (left) and Condenser Coil Post THERMAL-XR® Coating (right)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/168332_4404ddecd4a3fa18_002full.jpgThe first comparison test conducted was a Pull Down Test which assessed the time and energy required to reach a set temperature of 20C in the heat controlled room with an initial set temperature of 300C, controlled constant humidity level, and an outdoor temperature of 350C. This simulates a typical cold storage room with traffic subject to heat losses and required to cool down on multiple occasions to the set temperature. The quicker time to reach the set point cooling temperature, under the same conditions, highlights a reduction in energy consumption for the THERMAL-XR® coated condenser coil.As seen in Table 1 the THERMAL-XR® coated coil resulted in 15.7% Energy Savings and a 16.1% time savings for the Pull Down test.TestAv...
