Inspirit Energy Holdings PLC (AIM: INSP), is pleased to have agreed a letter of support for the development of a Waste Heat Recovery ("WHR") system following a successful model design and application demonstration with Volvo Penta, a world-leading supplier of power solutions for marine and industrial applications.
The WHR system utilises Inspirit's proprietary Sterling engine technology, and its compact nature enables it to be positioned in the exhaust system after the catalytic converters with the energy being directly transferred as an electrical output. During the demonstration, the novel three stage heat recycling process increased engine efficiency by approximately 20%, driven by waste heat from e.g. a Volvo Penta D13 series engine. In addition to the efficiency improvement and heat reduction, the WHR system is also expected to have the additional significant benefit of reducing noise.
This letter of support validates Inspirit's technology and underlines the Company's ability to capitalise on the ever-changing market and greater demand from consumers for environmentally friendly, energy efficient and cost saving products. The technology will be tested over the next 12 months and if successful may lead to a test of the system in a Volvo engine to confirm the efficiency and output.
ok so what I THINK they have is a 3D model stage which they probably are building now a will test as they say over the next 12 months and tinker as nessesary then they will hand it over to volvo to test heck they only talked to them in jan-feb this year that not bad considering covid give the guy a break
but best thing if they get this to work by the sound off it you will be able to put this into any and i mean any exhaust system
think about that 'any exhaust system' heat recovery in power plants......10-20% extra power in a power plant will be huge
its just a case off scalling the tech up or down all imho etc etc
only down side just in case im called a ramper is if you take to much energy out off the exhaust gases and it no longer has the 'lift' to exit the exhaust line (line may have to increase in size??? system resistances etc)(as exhaust generally dont use mechnical systems to exhaust the engine gases and use the natural thermal effect off the heat from the engine)
imho dyor balh blah
