Our system is an innovative non-cyclic high-temperature thermal energy converter that operates using an open oscillatory approach, leveraging distinct thermodynamic pathways. Unlike traditional condenser-evaporator systems governed by Carnot-Lorentz constraints, this technology utilizes gravity to generate low-pressure steam with rapid volume expansion, followed by a liquid piston compression phase with high isentropic efficiency.

​

Early-stage validations, including large-scale laboratory tests, have demonstrated key aspects of the process, such as the repeated evaporation of substantial steam volumes. Additionally, advanced hydro- and thermodynamic computer simulations indicate coefficients of performance (COP) that significantly exceed those of modern high-temperature heat pumps. These efficiency gains offer promising advantages over existing heat recovery and steam generation technologies. Our megawatt-scale equipment has the potential to redefine waste-heat energy recapture in industries such as chemical production, pulp and paper, and petroleum refining.
