WHR's first Energy Forge Beta test will be at the Bent Glass Facility in
Hatboro, Pa.
from Cyclone's Press Release:
Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. announced that it has signed a purchase
agreement with Bent Glass Design of Hatboro, PA for a
Waste Heat Engine (WHE)
cogeneration system. This is Cyclone's first sale and commercial
installation of its award-winning WHE. The initial WHE system covered under this
agreement will convert over 500,000
BTUs of exhaust heat
from the customer's
glass manufacturing furnaces into electric power. Cyclone estimates that
this system will offset nearly 100% of Bent Glass's electricity requirements for
lighting at its 65,000 sq ft. facility. Because much of these savings are
created during peak hours, the system is expected to be cash positive in year
one and provide a full payback to Bent Glass within four years.
"We are excited to work with Cyclone on this important and innovative project,"
said Bent Glass founder and
President Steve Lerner. "In addition to providing substantial savings to
our bottom line, we believe the WHE will help us conserve non-renewable
energy resources and
reduce greenhouse gas
emissions -- two critical goals for our nation and global environment."
This process of maximizing the usefulness of the energy we consume is known as
cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP). Successful CHP applications have
been utilized in the United States since the 1970's, mainly in large industrial
settings where the economies
of scale make it commercially feasible. But according to Harry Schoell,
CEO of Cyclone, "The compact, powerful WHE can open the door for smaller
industrial and commercial customers to participate in the benefits of
cogeneration."
