Distinct offerings for distinct needs
Two platforms built on the same sorption process, sized for different jobs: Prime for industrial-scale water, and Core for industrial dehumidification.
AirJoule Prime: the flagship platform for industrial and mass water
Prime is designed to produce up to 2,000 liters of pure distilled water per day at under 200 watt-hours per liter when paired with low-grade waste heat. Sixteen sorbent chambers are housed in a 20-foot containerized unit with a standard hot-water connection and electrical supply, and units are configured modularly to meet larger water needs. Prime is designed to achieve best-in-class capital cost per liter produced and to leverage external waste heat from the customer’s process or from heat recovery.
| Output | Up to 2,000 L/day |
| Energy | Under 200 Wh/L with low-grade waste heat |
| Form factor | 20-foot container |
| Inputs | Ambient air, low-grade hot water, electrical supply |
| Outputs | Pure distilled water, dry air |
| Applications | Data centers, industrial process water, water resiliency, utility-scale water |
Status: the first full-scale Prime was commissioned at Newark, Delaware in May 2026 and has operated outdoors since. Performance is progressing toward the published specification. The first system has shipped to Europe for a data center deployment in the fourth quarter of 2026, and additional units are under construction at Newark as customer showcase systems.
Core DH: industrial dehumidification with a water co-product
Core DH is the dehumidification configuration of the Core platform, built for dry storage and cold storage facilities that hold 30 to 50 percent relative humidity. Lower-temperature regeneration combined with adsorption-heat recovery delivers up to about 40 percent energy savings versus conventional desiccant wheels. Installation is simpler: no gas piping, no burner, no reactivation exhaust duct, no post-cooling coil. And the water it removes from the air leaves as distilled water rather than as a drain line.
Status: deployments to strategic customers began in the third quarter of 2026.
| Target range | 30 to 50 percent RH |
| Energy | Up to about 40 percent savings versus desiccant wheels |
| Installation | No gas, burner, exhaust duct or post-cooling coil |
| Co-product | Distilled water |
| Applications | Dry storage, cold storage, anti-corrosion environments |
From pilot to fleet
Every deployment starts with a needs assessment against the customer’s performance, reliability and scale requirements, moves through a proof-of-value deployment on site, and then to a commercial structure: system sale, lease or Water Purchase Agreement. Systems are built at our Newark, Delaware facility, and both platforms are in a design-for-manufacturing program covering cost reduction, reliability testing and certification, with a component reliability program running accelerated duty cycles on every major component.
