Delaware Patent of the Month – July 2025
Baryon Inc. has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 12372255 for a new ‘Evaporative heat exchanger’ design. This invention features a more efficient assembly process for heat exchangers. Its design relies on a series of parallel plates and gaskets. A series of rods hold the entire system together. This approach simplifies manufacturing while enhancing durability and performance. It could make high-efficiency cooling more accessible.
A Smarter Cooling Design
The evaporative heat exchanger works by a simple principle. Air flows through parallel channels. A secondary airflow evaporates a liquid. This process draws heat from the primary airflow. The innovation lies in the assembly method. A plurality of rods pass through the plates and gaskets. Fasteners secure everything in place. This makes the system easier to build. It also creates a strong, sealed unit without leaks. The design can use various plate shapes. It can also include porous materials to improve liquid distribution.
Real-World Impact
Evaporative cooling uses far less energy than traditional air conditioners. This technology provides a significant energy advantage. It is especially effective in low-humidity climates. The improved assembly method can lower production costs. This makes the technology more widely available. The patent specifies use in air conditioning systems. This invention from Baryon Inc. could lead to more economical air conditioning. It offers a path to reduced energy consumption and a lower carbon footprint in cooling.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
