At the core of Echogen’s heat-to-power system is a simple principle with real muscle: take otherwise wasted heat and turn it into electricity using a high-efficiency, closed-loop CO₂ cycle. We use supercritical CO₂ not for novelty, but because it handles heat better than steam and enables more power from lower temperatures. The system is built with durable turbomachinery and standard industrial materials, designed to run for decades in harsh environments. Our engineers have pressure-tested every component, refined every cycle, and focused on what works. The result? A compact, scalable, low-maintenance solution that delivers reliable power from industrial heat sources. Turning waste into watts isn’t futuristic, it’s just smart engineering.
Liquid CO₂ is pumped to a supercritical state and preheated in a recuperator.
Recovered waste heat is transferred in a heat exchanger, then high-energy CO₂ expands through a turbine to generate power.
The expanded CO₂ is cooled in the recuperator and condensed back to liquid to close the loop.
Echogen’s EPS100 is a patent-pending, 8MW heat recovery system that redefines what’s possible with thermal energy conversion. Built on an advanced closed-loop Rankine cycle using industrial-grade CO₂, the EPS100 extracts power from a wide range of waste heat sources with unmatched efficiency and flexibility. Its compact footprint, high power density, and emissions-free operation make it a transformative solution for fuel-intensive industries aiming to reduce energy costs and decarbonize without compromise. This is next-generation thermal engineering.
