1 Alexander Kronberg, Maxim Glushenkov SPIN-OFF COMPANY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE, (SME) ESTABLISHED IN 2005 LOCATED AT CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE, ENSCHEDE, THE NETHERLAND Main R&D activities NOVEL CHEMICAL REACTORS GENERATING VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES (4000 K AND 1000 BAR) IN THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT WAY: BY COMPRESSION OF REACTION MEDIA BY SOLID PISTONS OR BY LIQUIDS NOVEL HEAT ENGINES (CONVERSION OF HEAT INTO USABLE MECHANICAL ENERGY) 9 th European Networking Event, Workshop Energy March 2018, Düsseldorf (Airport) 1

2 PROBLEM MODERN TECHNOLOGIES FOR UTILIZATION OF LOW-GRADE/RENEWABLE HEAT ARE TOO COMPLICATED AND COSTLY NOVEL HEAT ENGINE PRINCIPLE DIRECT (SINGLE STAGE) HEAT TO MECHANICAL ENERGY CONVERSION KEY FEATURES ANY HEAT SOURCES (> 60 O C) (WASTE, BIOMASS, SOLAR, GEOTHERMAL, TRADITIONAL SOURCES) VERY SIMPLE AND CHEAP (TARGETED CAPITAL COST 500 /KW) HIGH THERMAL EFFICIENCY EASY SCALABLE FROM KILOWATTS TO SEVERAL MEGAWATTS

3 ANY HEAT SOURCE (WASTE, BIOMASS, SOLAR, GEOTHERMAL, TRADITIONAL SOURCES, ) ANY APPLICATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY (ELECTRICITY, PUMPING, COMPRESSION, ) WIDE APPLICATION AREA everywhere, where mechanical power is needed HEAT DRIVEN COMPRESSORS AND PUMPS IN INDUSTRY, REFRIGERATION, AIR CONDITIONING, HEAT PUMPS, ETC WASTE HEAT RECOVERY (INDUSTRY, POWER PLANTS, ENGINES) POWER GENERATION FROM TRADITIONAL HEAT SOURCES AND RENEWABLES MICRO-, SMALL- AND MEDIUM- CHP INSTALLATIONS PROPULSION ENGINES FOR CARS, TRUCKS, SHIPS, LOCOMOTIVES, 3

4 OBJECTIVE TO DEVELOP A NOVEL TECHNOLOGY TO CONVERT WASTE/RENEWABLE HEAT, FROM 60 O C, INTO USABLE ENERGY SCIENTIFIC/TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGES HEAT EXCHANGER DEVELOPMENT SELECTION OF COMPOUND WORKING FLUID WHICH ALLOWS HIGH REGENERATION EFFICIENCY PROJECT IDEA IMPACT NOVEL TECHNOLOGY FOR ENERGY CONVERSION IMPROVEMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN VARIOUS ENERGY RELATED APPLICATIONS VIA UTILIZATION OF LOW-GRADE HEAT AND SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION OF CAPITAL COSTS NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR WASTE HEAT RECOVERY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
