Hydram's oscillating boiler efficiently converts low-grade thermal energy to valuable and superheated steam. It operates using an open oscillatory approach, leveraging unconventional thermodynamic pathways. Unlike traditional closed loop and cyclical condenser-evaporator systems governed by Carnot constraints, our technology uses the weight of the water and assisted oscillations to repeatedly generate low-pressure steam using rapid volume expansion, followed by a compressive stage where the multi-ton liquid piston compresses the steam, heating and pressurizing it and subsequently ejecting it out of the system in a short and powerful burst.

The process has been demonstrated in large-scale laboratory tests. Advanced hydro- and thermodynamic computer simulations indicate coefficient of performance (COP) that significantly exceeds those of modern high-temperature heat pumps. The efficiency gains offer promising advantages over existing heat recovery and steam generation technologies. Our megawatt-scale equipment has both the potential to redefine waste-heat energy recapture in industries such as chemical production, pulp and paper, and petroleum refining as well as serve to cool liquid-cooled data center fluid.
