Core technology
A disruptive ORC system, redesigned from the turbine up.
We have completely re-engineered the core of the Organic Rankine Cycle — replacing traditional screw expanders with a high-speed integrated radial-flow turbine, breaking through the industry's performance limits.
How the Organic Rankine Cycle works
A closed-loop thermodynamic cycle that converts low-grade heat — industrial waste heat, geothermal energy and more — into electricity using an organic working fluid with a low boiling point.
01 · Evaporate
Waste heat vaporises the organic working fluid into a high-energy gas inside the evaporator.
02 · Expand
The gas expands through the radial-flow turbine, driving rotation at high speed.
03 · Generate
The turbine is direct-coupled to a permanent magnet generator — no gearbox, no transmission loss.
04 · Condense
The fluid is condensed and pumped back, ready for continuous operation.
- Closed loop, fully sealed system
- Integrated high-efficiency recuperator reuses turbine exhaust heat
- Reduces external heat-source demand
- Maximises overall cycle energy efficiency
Environmentally friendly working fluid
Carefully selected eco-friendly fluids minimise environmental impact while generating power.

Core technology
Three breakthroughs
A fundamental shift in fluid dynamics, drivetrain architecture and system simplicity.
01
From screw expander to radial-flow turbine
Replacing positive-displacement screw expanders with dynamic radial-flow turbines unlocks 85–90% efficiency.
02
Integrated turbine–generator design
The turbine sits directly on the shaft of a high-speed PMG — no gearbox, no 3–5% loss.
03
System-level simplification & reliability
Removing the gearbox and complex assemblies cuts parts and failure points — longer life, lower O&M.
Quantifiable impact — 20–30% more power
Turning efficiency gains into tangible profit. The leap from 70% isentropic efficiency (typical screw expander) to 85% (our high-speed turbine) directly translates into a massive increase in electricity production, even with the same heat source.
- Increased revenue
- Faster payback
- Enhanced project viability
