Pyramp

Recently we at Pyramp began our functional testing of our Engineering Qualification Model before a live test in a cement cool down grate. We tested with a local air temperature of 1000°C but we expect a local air temperature of ~800°C in the real industrial environment. The #Engineering #Qualification Model has passed this punishing lab test with a low thermal conductivity approaching that of refractory. The goal of the EQM is to produce a #robust encapsulation platform for TPV. The Engineering Qualification Model will allow us to characterize our lifetime predictions and a new version will provide #power density measurements for a variety of candidate materials and process locations. #TPV has the potential to capture an enormous quantity of #energy from wasted radiated heat from high temperature industries like cement, steel, and glass. In the cement context it is estimated that TPV can provide somewhere between 10% and 25% of the electrical demands of the cement process without increasing any fuel consumption or changing the energy balance. This increases the overall plant #efficiency and reduces demand on an ever more loaded #electricity grid. #Industry #Sustainability #Innovation #Ireland #EU

🚀 Exciting Milestone Achieved at Pyramp! 🚀 We’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of lab trials for our Engineering Qualification Model (EQM)! This testing phase has been crucial in validating the durability and resilience of our system under the expected industrial conditions. Passing these tests gives us the confidence and credibility to move forward with our mission. Next up: deploying our EQM in a live industrial setting for long-term trials, pushing the boundaries of industrial waste heat recovery and setting new standards for sustainability and efficiency. 🌟 Stay tuned for updates as we bring our innovation to the industry! #EngineeringExcellence #WasteHeatRecovery #Innovation #Sustainability #Pyramp

Last week I spoke at the 30th anniversary of conferences bringing the world together to discuss Thermophotovoltaic technology in the Instituto de Energía Solar - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid For those who don't know #Thermophotovoltaics are a proven technology to convert infrared wavelengths of light into electricity by means of the photoelectric effect. The main advantages are scalability, diversity of shape, energy density x10 to x100 that of solar PV, at a spectral efficiency as high as 42%. The disadvantages are a lack of heritage, obscurity, and high early-stage cost. Cement, steel, and glass industries combined, emitted approximately 5200MTonnes of CO2 in 2022. This accounts for about 14% of all energy combustion and industrial processes CO2. These three industrial sectors have become as efficient as practically possible, to increase profitability and reduce the impact on the environment. TPV, as a technology, lends itself particularly well to these industries as they all produce a large quantity of high temperature waste heat. Approximately 10% to 25% of the heat losses are due to emission of photons which, so far, are not captured, recycled, or used in the process. A TPV system can convert their radiated heat into electrical power to partially meet their plant’s electricity requirements. Pyramp are by far the closest to being the first in the world to deliver a solution that uses TPV to convert high temperature (1000° C plus) waste heat in heavy industries to electricity. This is because of our focus on the system-level (non-cell) aspects of this difficult problem and because of our deep engagement with the world's largest cement, glass and steel companies, with whom we are in advanced stages of technical trials. #TPV #Thermophotovoltaics #UltraHighTemperature #Energy #Renewable #Sustainability #CementIndustry #SteelIndustry #GlassIndustry Alejandro Datas ,Professor Brian Norton ,Pearse Coyle, Iftekhar Hussain, Paul Maguire, Barry Fennell.

Exciting final preparations! 🚀 Graham Buckley, Iftekhar Hussain, and Pearse Coyle made a final site visit to one of the world's largest cement producers ahead of our Pyramp waste-heat-to-electricity solution trial. We’re on the brink of demonstrating how innovative technology can transform waste heat into sustainable power.
