Spokane, Washington, Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- REGI U.S., Inc. (“REGI” or “RGUS” or "the Company") RGUS (OTCMKTS) The Board of Directors, Regi U.S., Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc. (RadMax), are pleased to be working with a Department of Energy national laboratory. RadMax is supporting the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in Richland, WA to develop and demonstrate a new, reduced cost energy system. PNNL’s patent-pending Harmonic Adsorption Recuperative Power (HARP) system implements a new non-condensing thermodynamic cycle projected to be 40% more efficient than commercially available organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems, when paired with a suitable low temperature heat source.
RadMax will design and build an axial-vane, rotary gas expander that will operate in the 1-to-2 kW range. The RadMax device will be used to expand the high-pressure refrigerant generated by the HARP system to drive an electrical generator. With no need for fluid condensation, less heat is rejected to the environment and the HARP system can produce power even under high ambient temperature conditions where conventional ORC systems shutdown.
PNNL’s research project is funded by DOE’s Geothermal Technologies Office. It is the first of several projects currently being jointly pursued by RadMax Technologies and PNNL.
