Research & Development

Aspen Systems develops a broad array of innovative technology related to the fields of thermal management, advanced materials, sensors, and energy conversion. The company has a rich portfolio of technology and intellectual property in these fields. Aspen has long recognized that environmental factors have a huge impact on economic competitiveness and decision-making. For this reason, virtually every activity initiated in the company has focused on energy-efficient technologies and environmental responsibility. Environment protection provides numerous technical challenges in a way that is diverse and interdisciplinary, ranging from chemistry and biology to physics and economics. Our energy-efficient technologies have included new materials with high insulating properties, state-of-the-art heating and cooling systems, fuel processing for fuel cells, and CFC-free refrigeration systems. As we move ahead with these products, we envision continuing our role as a technology incubator and unveiling products for the future that address critical and socially responsible issues. Some of these future technologies include:

• Sensors for explosives detection
• Low cost hydrogen generation
• High Efficiency thermoelectrics for low temperature heat recovery
• Advanced Hazardous waste remediation
• Extreme strength, lightweight metal composites
• Advanced coating materials
• Precision attitude control and determination for spacecraft and satellites
