A simple patented thermal power technology is finding a niche converting
'warm' thermal energy sources into power.

Power and refrigeration from renewable sources of energy freely available at temperatures too low to be economically converted by any other cycle. (only 70-200 deg. F.) (21- 93 deg. C)

The Future Has Arrived

An experimental residential-scale power plant is producing electricity and refrigeration fueled simply by the heat in warm water.

Nestled in an Avocado grove on the edge of the Florida Everglades, the patented low temperature thermo-cycle utilizes renewable thermal energy at its most economical collection temperatures (105-160 deg. F.).

The cycle appears promising for remote homes and small businesses fueled by solar, geothermal, co-generation, and even OTEC.

Low temperature thermal sources are projected to produce power for 10% of the cost of comparable photovoltaic (PV), & 50% that of concentrated solar and diesel power generation.

An independent SATOP thermodynamic analysis of the patented cycle indicates theoretical efficiencies 15% improved over comparable Rankine cycles heated to 150 deg.F.

A series of successful prototypes have culminated in a residential-scaled demonstrator, currently undergoing initial testing and tweaking.

This is a thermodynamic cycle invented in 1995 by Jeff Sterling of Miami, Fl. It should not be confused with the unrelated Stirling engine invented in 1816.
