That's neat and I'm going to keep an eye on it. The -15° F ambient differential somewhat limits its usefulness, and I'd like to see an induction-powered heater as an option instead of conduction-based heating. I'm guessing the 10-year lifespan is due to the fan bearings and the molecular sieve lifetime, and I'd like to see the overall system lifespan increased by 10X.
Would be interested in the papers behind this tech, as I think there are a lot of caveats they're glossing over.
[1] seems to be a paper on adjacent technology.
[2] seems to indicate the service lifetime of the molecular sieve is the controlling factor in the estimated lifecycle. 10 years sounds like the upper range.
