Advanced Ultrasonic Heat Pump
The Advanced Ultrasonic Heat Pump (AUHP) from Vhault Systems is a fully compressor-free thermoacoustic system that harnesses high-intensity ultrasonic waves to drive heat transfer with breakthrough efficiency and simplicity.
Powerful standing acoustic waves are generated in a sealed resonant chamber filled with a specialized proprietary refrigerant (not helium-based). These waves produce extreme pressure oscillations that pump heat from a cold source to a hot sink—delivering heating, cooling, or simultaneous operation with extraordinary Coefficients of Performance (COPs routinely exceeding 6–10 in real-world conditions, with potential for even higher in optimized configurations).
Key Features
- Zero moving parts → Virtually silent operation, negligible maintenance, and system lifespans of 30+ years
- Exceptional energy efficiency → COPs 50–300 % higher than conventional vapor-compression systems
- Specialized proprietary refrigerant → Ultra-low-GWP, zero ozone depletion potential, environmentally responsible formulation
- No thermal byproduct → Advanced insulation and thermal management eliminate unintended heat losses
- Compact footprint → Significantly smaller physical size than traditional systems at equivalent capacity
- Plug-and-play design → Modular components enable rapid installation and seamless retrofit into existing infrastructure
General Technical Specifications
- Capacity range: 1–500+ tons (scalable modular configurations)
- Temperature lift: Ambient cooling to high-grade heat delivery up to 150–200 °C
- COP (heating/cooling): 6–10+ (application-dependent; real-world measured)
- Noise level: <30 dBA at full load (near-inaudible)
- Power input: Standard single- or three-phase electrical supply
- Refrigerant charge: Minimal sealed volume, zero leak risk
- Dimensions (example 10-ton unit): Approximately 50–70 % smaller footprint than comparable compressor-based systems
- Operating lifetime: 30–40 years with minimal service
Benefits for a Sustainable Future
The AUHP delivers true net-zero-compatible performance with no mechanical wear, no noise pollution, and no harmful emissions. Smaller units at the same capacity scale, combined with plug-and-play installation, make transition from legacy HVAC systems fast and cost-effective.
Applications Across Scales
Residential & Light Commercial (1–20 tons) Whisper-quiet, ultra-efficient heating, cooling, and hot water for homes and small buildings.
Commercial & District Systems (20–100 tons) Precise climate control and massive heat rejection for offices, campuses, and AI data centers.
Industrial & Utility-Scale (>100 tons) Waste heat recovery, process heating, and thermal storage integration for heavy industry and district energy networks.

Vacuum Driven Auto Refrigeration System (VDARS)
Ultra-Low-Temperature Cooling with a Single Vacuum Pump
The Vacuum Driven Auto Refrigeration System (VDARS) from Vhault Systems achieves deep and cryogenic cooling through a single vacuum pump and proprietary refrigerant mixture that automatically creates cascading evaporation stages in a closed loop—no compressors, no complex external staging.
Phase separation occurs naturally under vacuum, enabling precise temperature control from -80 °C to milli-Kelvin ranges with minimal energy input.
Key Features
- Only one moving part (single vacuum pump) → Extreme reliability, low maintenance, and silent/vibration-free operation
- Superior efficiency → Dramatically lower power consumption than traditional cascade systems
- Application-specific refrigerants → Propane for standard deep cooling; nitrogen or neon/helium hybrids for cryogenic variants—all natural or ultra-low-GWP
- No thermal byproduct → Advanced insulation and thermal management prevent unintended heat losses
- Compact footprint → Much smaller physical size than equivalent-capacity conventional systems
- Plug-and-play design → Standardized interfaces for rapid deployment and easy retrofit
General Technical Specifications
- Capacity range: 1–500+ tons (modular and scalable)
- Temperature range:
- Standard: -80 °C and below
- Advanced cryogenic variants: below -180 °C, down to 20 K and 1 K
- Temperature stability: ±0.1 K (advanced configurations)
- Pull-down time: Rapid response with minimal overshoot
- Noise level: <35 dBA at full load
- Power input: Standard electrical supply; vacuum pump optimized for efficiency
- Refrigerant options: Propane (deep cooling), nitrogen (mid-cryogenic), neon/helium hybrids (ultra-low cryogenic)
- Dimensions (example 10-ton unit): 60–80 % smaller footprint than comparable multi-stage systems
- Operating lifetime: 25–35 years with routine vacuum pump service only
