Pascal develops a novel class of solid refrigerants and systems for heat pumps, air conditioners and refrigeration that operate at much lower pressures than prior solid‑refrigerant approaches. Its technology targets commercial and residential HVAC and refrigeration, promising 0 direct refrigerant emissions and 50%–80% improvements in energy efficiency while enabling smaller, quieter and safer systems. Pascal says its systems can interface directly with standard HVAC components and be manufactured using off‑the‑shelf parts from the existing supply chain. The company plans to productize its low‑pressure solid refrigerant system to meet commercial HVAC specifications and to expand its Boston‑based team of mechanical engineers, chemists, and material scientists. Pascal launched from the Mason Group at Harvard University and lists Adam Slavney (co‑founder & CEO), Jinyoung Seo (co‑founder & CTO) and Jarad Mason (co‑founder & Chief Science Officer) as founders. Financially, the company announced an $8 million seed raise to support productization and team growth.
