What does LTH2Power mean?
LTH2Power stands for Low Temperature Heat to Power, i.e., the generation of electrical energy from low-temperature heat at temperatures of 60-300°C.
Get more energy with the Trilateral Cycle (TLC process)
This website specifically addresses the conversion of low-temperature heat into electrical energy using the Trilateral Cycle (also called TLC process), a mostly unknown thermodynamic power cycle.
The outstanding feature of the TLC process is, compared to any of the commonly known low-temperature thermodynamic power cycles (ORC process; Kalina Cycle) at identical temperatures of the heat source and heat sink, that it is possible to generate ALWAYS more electrical energy.
This can be shown by a comparison of TLC and ORC processes.
Why is the TLC process so unknown and not utilized?
The TLC process has very specific requirements on a heat engine.
Conventional heat engines such as steam turbines or steam engines cannot be used for the TLC process.
Similar to the Stirling process, a heat engine specifically designed for the TLC process is required.
The TLC Rotor, a heat engine specifically designed for the TLC process
An initial, patented development of a TLC heat engine is the TLC Tower, a vertically operating free-piston engine.
However, the TLC tower has uneconomically high manufacturing costs.
Building on the knowledge gained from the TLC tower, the TLC Rotor, a very simply constructed rotating heat engine, was developed.
Current status
Following patent applications, publications, and the successful search for partners, initial development work on the TLC Rotor has been completed. For the upcoming prototyping and further development to production readiness, development partners and investors are being sought.
