POMPANO BEACH, FL, July 04, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets: CYPW) announced on June 30 that it has achieved positive results from performance tests recently conducted on its award winning Waste Heat Engine (WHE), and expects the final stage of testing prior to on-site beta installation to begin in July.
The tests involved running the WHE on heat generated from a simulated industrial furnace. The company recently modified certain design elements and materials of the WHE in an effort to reduce heat conductivity losses and engine wear. The company also improved the design of the heat exchanger to generate higher steam temperatures and pressures.
The net results of these improvements, as demonstrated by the performance testing, is expected to be an engine that operates at a broader range of temperatures, achieves higher overall efficiencies and has greater lifetime durability.
"We are very pleased with progress made," said Allan Brown, Cyclone's senior engineer on the WHE project. "We have successfully isolated and debugged engine issues, and vastly improved quality control on the production of parts."
"By not rushing delivery and installation of this first beta engine, we have been able to make advancements that have greatly improved the commercial possibilities of the WHE," added Cyclone's CEO, Harry Schoell.
The WHE is a self-starting steam engine capable of producing up to 18HP (10kW of electricity) from low to medium-temperature waste heat sources such as industrial furnaces, commercial ovens and even solar thermal collectors.
