Welcome to Johnson Controls' Technology Licensing Program

BlueStream® Cooling System

Johnson Controls is a leader in providing solutions for smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings. Decades of research and innovation have resulted in valuable technology and intellectual property. Included in that innovative technology is JCI’s patented BlueStream® Cooling System, which JCI is pleased to make available for licensing.

The BlueStream® Cooling System is a superior hybrid cooling system that combines a thermosiphon dry-heat rejection unit with water-cooled systems, offering a cost-effective and sustainable cooling solution with substantial water conservation opportunities across a wide range of industries for both new construction and retrofitting existing buildings.

Benefits of the BlueStream® cooling system:

  • Reduces water consumption by up to 80% through utilization of wet cooling when it’s hot and dry cooling when it’s not. 
  • Operates effectively across a vast range of weather conditions.
  • Offers cost-effective solutions in both retrofitting of existing buildings and new construction.
  • Incorporates a variety of metal components to ensure compatibility with existing cold-water loops.
  • Decreases maintenance costs through the use of thermosiphon dry-heat rejection technology (which does not require a pump or compressor for refrigerant flow).
  • Offers scalable, modular design with flexibility to add multiple units in parallel to handle the largest power plant and commercial processes.

Water and Operating Costs Savings

Our BlueStream hybrid cooling system combines air-cooled and water-cooled heat rejection systems with advanced controls, substantially reducing water usage and operational costs.
