Cyclone Power Technologies and Phoenix Power Group Reach Milestone in Commercialization of Waste Oil Engine System
POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets: CYPW), developer of the all-fuel, clean-tech Cyclone Engine, and Phoenix Power Group LLC announced that they have successfully completed fabrication, assembly and initial testing of the first pre-production Waste Heat Engines (WHE-25) manufactured by TopLine Energy Systems.
This milestone – from prototypes to completed pre-production engines - represents a critical advancement for the Phoenix-10 Waste Oil Power Generator (P-10), scheduled for commercial production in 2012. The P-10 is an innovative generator system that is capable of utilizing waste fuels, such as used automotive motor oil, to produce electricity and reduce both energy and heating requirements for garages, car dealerships and similar facilities. Powered by the Cyclone WHE-25 external combustion engine, each P-10 generator system is designed to produce 7.5 kW of clean, grid-tied electricity.
Doug Petty, Phoenix Power’s Vice President, commented, “We’ve made significant progress in a short period of time, and we’re very pleased with the results Cyclone is achieving. Among the critical connections we’ve made in the past few months was matching the Cyclone steam generator with our partner’s EPA-compliant and UL-rated waste oil furnace, which we believe will expedite our path to product commercialization.”
Phoenix Power’s distribution partner, Clean Burn, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of waste oil heaters in the U.S., with over 150,000 products in the market, and over 30 years of outstanding performance. The parties are currently coupling Clean Burn’s furnaces with a specially designed heat exchanger, which will provide the co-generative thermal energy to run the Cyclone WHE-25 engine. These engines are being fabricated by TopLine Energy Systems, a licensee of global automotive parts manufacturer TopLine Automotive Engineering Inc., pursuant to an agreement announced earlier this year.
“Thus far, we’ve had excellent results with the initial engines manufactured by TopLine – they did solid machining work and added great value to our technology,” stated Travis Love, WHE Project Leader and Engineer for Cyclone. “We look forward to continuing our work with TopLine, Phoenix and Clean Burn towards the shared goal of getting a quality product to market as soon as possible.”
