Luminescent has succeeded in transforming heat conversion technology by patenting the first heat engine, applying liquid-based isothermal principles and techniques. This breakthrough allows heat to be converted into electricity efficiently, without emissions, and with a thermal density never seen before.
Luminescent’s first patented heat engine
Luminescent’ s isothermal engine overcomes the limitations of gas-fired heat engines, achieving a 1000 times higher power density and an efficiency of 70-80% of the Carnot cycle. These characteristics make this engine an ideal solution for waste heat recovery applications, geothermal energy and data center cooling, among others.
[post_relacionado]Designed to operate over a wide temperature range, from 45 °C to 700 °C, the Luminescent engine is highly versatile and efficient. With a levelized cost of energy(LCOE) of only $15 per MWh and an estimated payback of 1 to 3 years, it represents an economically viable option for multiple applications for industries.
In addition, this technology does not rely on rare materials, which reduces operating and capital costs for construction. The company is looking for strategic partners to expand the use of its isothermal engine in sectors such as industrial, geothermal and data center cooling, offering a sustainable and economical solution for the conversion of heat into electricity.
