Dec 13, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Cyclone Power Technologies will
present its small-scale waste heat recovery system at the Power-Gen
International conference, Dec. 14-16 in Orlando, Fla.
The WHE-Gen 10 prototype to be unveiled at Power-Gen provides up to 10kW of
renewable power per unit from the waste heat of small industrial furnaces,
ovens, kilns and flares. The Company reported that this is the first system of
its size that can provide facility owners with an attractive financial payback
by creating electricity from otherwise wasted thermal energy. Cyclone Power
noted that multiple units can be coupled together to provide up to 100kW of
green power, and modified systems are being designed to run off the exhaust of
diesel engines and turbines, as well as biomass combustion.
"We know that there is a huge market for waste heat recovery systems in the size
and heat input range of the WHE-Gen 10," said Christopher Nelson, Executive VP
of Cyclone and Managing Director of its waste heat operations. "We look forward
to meeting with potential distributors and manufacturers at Power-Gen
Int ernational, who can provide worldwide sales coverage for these much needed
renewable power units."
A limited number of WHE-Gen 10 beta units are available for installation in
pilot sites, such as the one Cyclone is currently conducting with its customer,
Bent Glass Design. The Company reported that commercial production is expected
to commence in 2011. Based on U.S. Department of Energy statistics, Cyclone said
that it estimates that there are well over $250,000,000 of potential small-scale
waste heat installations in the U.S. alone that would benefit from a WHE-Gen
system.
Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the Cyclone Engine, an
eco-friendly external combustion engine with the power and versatility to run
everything from portable electric generators and garden equipment to cars,
trucks and locomotives.
