Mojave's core product, ArctiDry, is a patented liquid desiccant Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) that independently controls dew point and dry bulb to dehumidify without overcooling. The company reports an ISMRE2 efficiency rating up to 11 lbs/kWh and claims electricity reductions of up to 50% (40–60% energy use reduction versus alternatives). ArctiDry began shipping earlier in 2024 and Mojave manufactures and ships units from its Anderson, South Carolina facility. Mojave has signed 19 firms to its Sales Partner Network and will continue U.S. expansion in 2025. Near-term product plans include ArctiDry HP, integrating liquid desiccant with a reversible heat pump to enable electricity savings and zero-carbon wintertime operation, and ongoing electrochemical regeneration research. The company is also executing phase two of a Department of Energy project to demonstrate field energy efficiency and reliability across building types. Mojave builds a liquid desiccant dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) that uses a high‑concentration salt solution to passively remove moisture and deliver cool, dry outdoor air. Its third‑generation platform reportedly halves the energy required for fresh air dehumidification and uses about 20% less refrigerant than existing systems. The saturated desiccant is regenerated using only waste heat from the system, eliminating external heating or cooling and achieving roughly double the moisture‑removal efficiency versus traditional vapor‑compression approaches. Mojave’s units can drop into existing HVAC infrastructure, require minimal maintenance, and independently control temperature and humidity to improve indoor air quality; the desiccant also has biocidal properties that can reduce bacteria and viruses. The company is running several field pilots and plans a commercial launch in January 2024. Mojave will use new capital for go‑to‑market and commercialization rollout, manufacturing initial orders, and continued R&D.
