I was thinking more of what can you do with a 400V VFD air compressor, a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger, or a 3x24" active shutter with servo.
Stuff like that. It looks like a goldmine of aerospace quality OEM parts.

Well, your comment sent me into my own tangent thoughts of a highly efficient single appliance. The octovalve was created to centralize the heat moving device by switching the heat-moving capacity to where it was needed.
Why have dozens of inefficient heating and cooling appliances in a home when you could have a highly efficient central unit that could be switched to send what was needed, to where it was needed?
Another example I always think about is why do we build bigger TVs? If you want a bigger picture, sit closer (sayz the guy that built a 152" projection screen). The logical conclusion of this is to have the picture projected directly into your eyeball to have a full field of view. Even more efficient is to activate the neurons responsible for perceiving that picture directly with electricity.
I'm thinking about those sorts of things all the time; like why do I have my own personal garbage can. The garbage truck empties my can, then drives 50ft down the road to pick up another can, then another 50ft... it should be like 1 "can" for the 100 houses.
Why do 100 houses need 100 lawnmowers for the 100 tiny lawns?
I know I'm talking about communism here, but 100 is a reasonable size for communes. Any more than that, and the probability of getting a freebeard, or an aerohead, or an oilpan4, or a redpoint5 becomes unacceptably high
