ElectraTherm combines traditional components with patented, cutting-edge technology to create electricity from waste heat. ElectraTherm power systems use a closed-loop organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to create pressure by boiling EPA-approved chemical working fluids into gas. The gas expands in a one way system and turns a patented Twin Screw Expander, which drives a generator to ultimately put out electricity.
Historically, ORCs incorporating turbo-expanders have not been commercially viable in sizes less than 1MW. By replacing turbo-expanders with ElectraTherm's patented, robust, low-cost Twin Screw Expander, users benefit from short payback on systems that provide unattended operation and negligible maintenance.
ElectraTherm's technology:
Lowest heat requirements in the industry
Flexible and scalable
Lowest operation & maintenance requirements in the industry
Fuel free, emissions free
Non-combustion process
Modular and mobile
No company currently produces equipment competitive to ElectraTherm's low temperature, small scale, fuel-free, emission-free power systems.
ElectraTherm's Twin Screw Expander
Our patented Twin Screw Expander provides the ideal solution in the arena of small-scale waste heat generation. The Twin Screw Expander:
Requires a fraction of turbine O&M
Runs at 1/10 rotational speed of turbo expanders
Performs with less friction, greater lobe strength
Operates free of expensive gear boxes/electronics
Process lubrication system eliminates the need for traditional oil pump, tank, lines and filter.
