The Board of Directors, Regi U.S., Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc. (RadMax) announced the delivery of an expander-generator to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, WA. This is a significant development in the Company’s history as it marks the first RadMax axial-vane, rotary device custom designed and delivered to an outside customer. The RadMax device was commissioned by PNNL to support the construction and demonstration of their patent pending, Harmonic Adsorption Recuperative Power (HARP) energy generation system. The HARP system utilizes PNNL’s innovative, non-condensing thermodynamic cycle technology to generate electricity from low temperature heat sources such as geothermal, solar and waste process heat previously thought too uneconomical for this purpose. With no need for fluid condensation, less heat is rejected to the environment allowing the HARP system to produce power even under high ambient temperature conditions where competitive systems shutdown. The self-contained RadMax expander will be used to expand the high-pressure refrigerant created by the HARP system to produce up to 1 kW of electrical power.
REGI U.S., Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc., is a research and development company. The Company is focused on creating new technologies and is developing and commercializing high efficiency engines, compressors, expanders, and pumps for civilian, commercial and government applications based on its patented RadMax axial vane-type rotary technology. The Companyâs products include gas expanders, compressors and pumps and power generation devices. Its focus is on developing devices that reduce carbon footprint, device size, weight, and parts count, while enhancing fuel and manufacturing efficiencies over incumbent technologies.
