As energy prices are continuously rising, the need for optimising energy usage and recovery is increasing rapidly. Governmental pressure on today’s corporations to become environmentally friendly and reduce carbon emissions to the bare minimum is putting additional emphasis on the importance of energy recovery.
As the Cryostar technology merely recovers un-used energy this technology is CO2 emission free!
The principle of energy recovery is turning unharnessed energy into electricity. The expansion of a working fluid such as gas transfers kinetic energy into mechanical energy. Cryostar turboexpanders generates electricity by utilising the expansion process to rotate a wheel and generate electricity.
Here in Cryostar, over the last 20 years, we have been perfecting radial in-flow turbine to harvest wasted energy from a working fluid into electricity. This is by the direct conversion (primary cycle) of kinetic or mechanical energy into electricity, such as with our Geo-pressure units, the same principle by which wind power operates. The Geo-pressure units work in parallel with pressure reduction valves on gas networks.
Pressure reducing valves = Cryostar Lo-C Energy electricity generation
The second method (binary cycle) is by converting low grade heat (100°C+) into a working fluid, then expanding it through the radial in-flow turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electricity, the principle used for geothermal and wasted heat electricity plants.
Geothermal or waste heat = Cryostar Lo-C Energy electricity generation
