POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ Cyclone Power Technologies ] (Pink Sheets: CYPW) has completed the installation and successfully powered-up its initial waste heat power generator at the facility of its customer, [ Bent Glass Design ]. The event marks an important milestone for Cyclone, as well as demonstrating the viability of small-scale waste heat recovery as a clean, renewable power source capable of off-setting fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

"We are pleased to be part of this historic project, and look forward to working with the Cyclone team to study the WHE-GEN system in operation at our plant."

Cyclonea™s waste heat power generator a" called the WHE-GEN-10 a" utilizes the companya™s scalable piston-based waste heat engine (WHE)to power an electric generator, up to 10kW per unit. This first WHE-GEN-10 is currently converting exhaust heat from Bent Glass Designa™s furnace into grid-tied electric power. When fully optimized, this alternative power source can help reduce peak electricity usage and corresponding demand charges at industrial facilities.

aOur system captured the furnacea™s exhaust heat and powered-up right away,a stated Travis Love, Cyclonea™s Project Engineer in charge of WHE-GEN design and development. aWe plan to conduct extensive thermal and operational testing, data acquisition and system configuration over the next few months, while we analyze its performance in real world environments.a

Small-scale waste heat recovery has been an elusive goal since the 1970s, primarily because the turbines capable of powering these systems required massive amounts of thermal energy to be cost effective. The WHE-GEN-10 is designed to provide an efficient, revenue producing green power system for tens of thousands of smaller industrial facilities in the U.S. and around the world.

aAs a company, we are committed to working towards greener, more efficient energy practices,a stated Andrew Lerner, Vice President of Bent Glass Design. aWe are pleased to be part of this historic project, and look forward to working with the Cyclone team to study the WHE-GEN system in operation at our plant.a
