Problem
Industrial processes often discard a large portion of low‑grade waste heat (typically below 200 °C), leading to unnecessary energy loss, higher operating costs, and elevated carbon emissions. Conventional heat‑recovery solutions are either inefficient at these temperatures or require complex, maintenance‑intensive equipment.
Solution
Thermagix applies its patented Phase‑Change Thermoacoustic technology to convert low‑temperature waste heat into usable electricity and cooling without any moving parts. The system generates acoustic waves in a working fluid that undergoes a phase change, directly transforming thermal energy into electrical power and chilled water. By operating at near‑ambient pressure and targeting heat sources as low as 100 °C, the solution delivers high power density while remaining lightweight and modular. The maintenance‑free design reduces OPEX and enables rapid deployment across diverse industrial settings, supporting both energy efficiency and emissions reduction goals.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers, petrochemical plants, steel and cement producers, data‑center operators, and other industrial facilities that have low‑grade waste heat streams and seek cost‑effective energy recovery solutions.
