THE SLTE ENGINE

Product

The Solid Linear Thermal Expansion (SLTE) Engine is a bank of pipes inline with hydraulic cylinders expanding and contracting between two anchors. The engine is heated from a waste heat system and cooled from the environment. As the engine cycles, the pipes expand and contract caused by the thermal expansion properties of the pipe material. The strength of the pipes, with the motion over a cycle, pressurizes hydraulic fluid in the cylinders. The fluid then moves from the cylinders to rotate a hydraulic driven generator. This produces electricity from the unused waste heat.

Product Advantages


-All SLTE engine components and materials are widely available in today’s market. There are no significant supply chain issues with chips, rare earth metals or precision manufactured components.


-This highly reliable system has few moving parts, so the operation is easily automated. The engine can operate for long durations with little or no maintenance, and any potential component failures would not harm the power system.


-Because of the large surface area, the engine affords the ability of sulfur, NOx and carbon to be absorbed into pipe coatings or fillers. So while the plant is still online, these can be reapplied or changed out by isolating individual legs of the engine.


-The system has low tech components that are widely available so the SLTE engine can be easily deployed in remote and low-income areas.
