Company Profile
Clean Power Technologies Inc. (CPTI) is a publicly listed company trading on the Nasdaq Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) Exchange under the symbol CPWE.
CPTI, through its wholly owned UK subsidiary, Clean Power Technologies Ltd. (CPTL) is a specialist design engineering firm which has developed a range of systems to capture waste heat and convert to electricity. The systems are designed to be installed on existing internal combustion engines and will recover around 35% of this otherwise unused energy. This results in an 8% gain in the combustion engine fuel efficiency, providing significant commercial benefits in the power generation and transportation sectors while simultaneously reducing green house gas emissions and heat pollution.
Our Technology
The CPT 'CESAR' (Clean Energy Separation And Recovery) system consists of a sophisticated heat exchanging device that fits into a stream of high temperature gas, such as an engine exhaust pipe. The system converts water to superheated steam which is fed through electronic and mechanical control devices to power a compact steam engine, which in turn powers an electrical generator. The steam engine exhausts into a condenser which returns condensed water thus completing a 'closed loop' operation.
The first market application for the CESAR system will be stationary electrical power generation engines. Currently there are approximately 360,000 engines in the power range 200 to 2000 KW in use in stationary applications worldwide, and the market is growing by 30,000 units per year. One of the biggest specific applications are landfill gas powered generators, where the methane rich gas given off by decaying rubbish in landfill sites is used to power large spark ignition engines. These engines generate electricity, which is fed directly into the electrical grid, providing cleanly produced power.
The CPT CESAR system can be fitted to the exhaust of a landfill gas engine, and produce a further 8% of electrical power from the recovered waste exhaust heat energy.
Longer term, the CESAR system will be developed to operate on the exhaust systems of the large engines fitted to trucks, buses, locomotives and ships. The additional power generated can be used to power ancillary systems (such as refrigeration units) or provide supplementary power to the main propulsion system, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
As the CESAR system can recover energy from any flow of sufficiently high temperature gas, it can also be applied to generate power from burners fuelled by waste organic matter (biomass) or drilling gas flares.
