The Upthermo technology can transform low-temperature energy into mechanical operation. The use of our solutions seems particularly attractive wherever a cheap energy source is available, such as waste heat or heat from renewable sources.
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS
UPTHERMO ORC
Possible applications
- power generation in industrial facilities that produce low-temperature waste heat (chemical plants, refineries, and cogeneration plants),
- capturing waste heat from engines and turbines in transportation (automobiles, ships, airplanes),
- utilizing geothermal heat sources to generate electricity,
- enhancing the efficiency of solar thermal power plants by converting low-temperature heat to electricity,
- recovery of waste heat from mining and drilling operations,
- power generation from biomass and biogas sources,
- generation of electricity from low-temperature industrial processes, such as those found in the food, textile, paper industries,
- providing power for remote and off-grid locations, such as in the oil and gas industry and mining operations,
- power generation in combined heat and power (CHP),
- capturing and utilizing waste heat from data centers.
UPTHERMO ISOBARIC ENGINE
Heat can be efficiently converted into mechanical power
Isobaric engines can be attractive solution for:
- pumping liquids,
- vapor-driven compressors for cooling applications or air/hydrogen storage,
- electricity generation.
Potential
Applications
IE compressors can replace conventional electrically driven compressors in all cases in which a low-gradeheat source of sufficient capacity is available. The compression of air for energy storage systems and hydrogen, as well as air conditioning and vapor compression refrigeration, areexamples of promising applications. Solar energy and waste heat from truck and ship diesel engines are ideal heat sources for vapor-driven compressors. In the future, such a source may be the waste heat of various fuel cells. All types of electrically driven compressors used today in refineries and chemical and food processing plants can in many cases also be replaced by compressors driven by multiple sources of waste heat, which are typical for such industries.
