Worksport announced that its subsidiary, Terravis Energy, has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,624,872 for its AetherLux™ heat-pump system, which incorporates the proprietary ZeroFrost™ technology. This innovation is designed to address a critical performance barrier for heat pumps in cold climates by reducing or eliminating frost buildup and the need for conventional defrost cycles.
Key Details
- Patented Technology: The patent protects the core architecture of the ZeroFrost™ platform, which aims to provide continuous heating performance in cold weather without the efficiency loss associated with defrosting.
- Timeline & Market: The company expects to receive certification for the technology in the second half of 2026. The filing notes the heat pump market is projected to grow to $200 billion by 2033.
- Commercial Interest: The technology has reportedly attracted interest from several Fortune 500 companies, hundreds of dealers, and the Department of Energy’s NLR Alaska Lab.
