Heat2Power: Thermal Energy Recovery Systems for better fuel efficiency

The world is changing, and it is changing rapidly. We became massively aware of our undesired impact on climate change with ever more frequent hurricanes, rainfall, draughts and the melting ice cap. Finally oil production seems to be near a decline but that almost passes unnoticed because of the gravity of the first two reasons. Three big reasons why fuel economy has caught our attention. Today we also realize that we have to do something about it and we have accepted that we have to change our behaviour, that we have to diversify our energy sources and that we can simply not go on like before anymore.
Heat2power has focused on the improvement of energy flows through an internal combustion engine to improve its efficiency. The flow through the exhaust had been identified as a potential source of energy for the generation of torque on the crankshaft. A technology has been developed to use the waste heat in a highly efficient manner. The goal as depicted in the following picture was also to realize this with a high efficiency. On top of this, high power density was aimed at in order to have an attractive solution for mobile applications.

Heat2power proposes solutions for fuel economy and lower CO2-emissions on combustion engines by making use of their exhaust waste heat. This fuel economy is accessible for engines running on gasoline, diesel, biofuels, hydrogen or any other type of fuel.
heat2power proposes both solutions with high power density for mobile applications and rugged solutions for power generation and marine applications.
Heat2power is also being recognized by the motorsport world as an important technology for the future in racing and road cars. heat2power has won the 2008 "Powertrain Innovation of the Year Award".
