Large-Scale Hydrodynamic Oscillators
Generating Industrial Steam from Waste-Heat
The novel 'Open Oscillatory Approach' has several advantages over traditional boilers and high-temperature heat pumps, the main one being that the main energy source is not electricity, natural gas or coal - but warmth which is typically abundant.
Hydram Research is developing advanced industrial equipment that converts low-grade waste heat into valuable energized steam. Hydram’s novel 'Open Oscillatory Approach' is poised to achieve an order-of-magnitude improvement in efficiency compared to modern boilers and heat pumps, significantly reducing the levelized cost of heat.
Designed for chemical plants, pulp and paper mills, food manufacturing, municipal district heating and potentially liquid cooled data centers, the system enables effective recycling of waste heat such as cooling water and flue gasses into usable energy, addressing industries' largest operational inefficiencies.
Prototypes demonstrating key aspects of the process have been developed and tested at our industrial facility in Reykjavik, Iceland. Several patents have been filed of the various equipment configurations and auxiliary systems.
