A new technology that aims to deliver 100% clean electricity from hot water has been launched.
The new generation of “heat power” is said to be more efficient than previous systems that helps deliver higher CO2 and financial savings for customers.
The Swedish company behind the patented technology, Climeon, has developed a range of products delivering different levels of power ranging from 150kilowatts to 1 megawatt.
By tapping in to waste heat recovery, one Climeon Ocean module can generate 150 KW – enough to heat more than 100 average homes.
The new ranges of Climeon Ocean and Climeon Ocean Marine products are improved versions of the company’s Ocean 100 products making them more efficient with greater servicability and more compact design.
The Climeon Ocean technology is scalable and can turn heat from engines, heavy industries, and solar, water or geothermal heat into electricity.
The equipment is designed for land-based and sea-based “heat power” applications such as solar, geothermal, industrial waste-heat and power plant installations on land and also on ships, where systems are designed to meet the high requirements of marine markets.
Ships require systems that can absorb the micro-vibrations caused by their engines and also have a security classification exceeding that required by insurance companies.
“Our objective is to maximise energy production, environmental benefits and return on investment for our customers,” said Climeon chief technical officer Dr Joachim Karthäuser.
“The power scalability of Climeon Ocean is an important part for reaching these objectives since every heat source is different.”
Climeon claim all models deliver at best case up to 14% efficiency, or greater than 10% at 90C/20C temperatures (more than half of theoretical max). Shipments will start during 2016.
