## Description

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA Johnson Space Center, in collaboration with innovators at American Oxygen, have developed a solid-state system and process that separates oxygen from ambient air and compresses the resulting purified oxygen – with a significant reduction in power con-sumption compared to prior state-of-the-art. It is based upon a proven solid oxide electrochemical oxygen separation and compression technique that derives purified oxygen from ambient air and compresses it using an electrochemical pumping method. This electrically driven technology relies upon the high operating temperature of electrochemical cell stacks for maximum efficiency. An inverse relationship exists between high temperature and electrical resistance; thus, a heated system requires less energy to drive oxide ions across a cell membrane and compress the resulting purified oxygen. Ambient air that is fed and circulated for processing through the system also helps to stabilize high system operating temperatures. To prevent the ambient air from overcooling the electrochemical process, the incoming air is preheated. However, in existing systems, this pre-heating incurs a large cost penalty in power consumption. The new solid-state system design performs electrochemical reactions to generate purified oxygen but uses an embedded heat exchanger to preheat the incoming air with system waste heat without the need for supplemental heaters, significantly boosting efficiency. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/MSC-TOPS-148 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA’s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA’s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
