Product Overview
Overview
ENOGIA, founded in 2009, designs and manufactures ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) systems, which convert heat into electricity, and air compressors for fuel cells. ENOGIA thus shares its objective of making its technology accessible throughout the world, supports teaching and research in energy transition technologies and participates in promotion of the Cleantech sector.
As a global player in the design of micro-turbomachinery, ENOGIA relies on its patented technology to offer innovative solutions in heat-to-electricity conversion systems (ORC) and air compressors for hydrogen fuel cells.
Enogia has developed 5 main products:
- ENO-10LT: able to recover until 160 kWth and having a nominal power output of 10 kWe from heat sources from 70-120°C / 158-248 °F. Using R1233zd as working fluid. Dimensions: 1,2 m x 0,8 m x 1,8 m (L x W x H)
- ENO-20LT: able to recover until 320 kWth and having a nominal power output of 20 kWe from heat sources from 70-120°C / 158-248 °F. Using R1233zd as working fluid. Dimensions: 1,2 m x 0,8 m x 1,8 m (L x W x H)
- ENO-40LT: able to recover up to 640 kWth and having a nominal power output of 40 kWe from low temperature heat sources (70-120°C / 158-248 °F). Using R1233zd as working fluid. Dimensions: 1,9 m x 1,2 m x 1,9 m (L x W x H)
- ENO-100LT: able to recover up to 1400 kWth and having a nominal power output of 100 kWe from low temperature heat sources (70-120°C / 158-248 °F). Using R1233zd as working fluid. Dimensions: 2,0m x 1,7m x 2,0m (L x W x H)
- ENO-180LT: able to recover up to 2400 kWth and having a nominal power output of 180 kWe from low temperature heat sources. (70-120°C / 158-248 °F). Using R1233zd as working fluid. Dimensions: 2,3m x 2m x 2,6m (L x W x H)
Enogia has also developed a compressor for hydrogen fuel cells. Based on centrifugal machine technology and the latest developments in high speed permanent magnet motors combined with an innovative architecture, the compactness of the Enogia compressor is a very significant advantage in the deployment of the fuel cell in mobility
Business Model
Enogia designs, builds, and delivers its ORC system and air compressors for fuel cells for individual customer applications.
Technology Innovations
- Enogia adapts ORCs to the operating conditions of clients sites, and develop custom compressors for fuel cell integrators.
- ESG: involving local partners in the manufacturing of quality Made in France products.
- Economy-of-use energy saving models
- Enogia upended the ORC universe by making it possible to build machines from 10kW upwards thanks to its micro-turbines.
- High-speed micro-turbine that fits perfectly in ORC modules with power rates below 300kW.
- Products can produce from 10 kW to 180 kW from temperatures as low as 70 °C.C47
- compact, easy to integrate with standard flanges, plug-and-play
Applications
Enogias ORC units are specially developed for waste heat recovery in:
- Generator sets: improved yield from generator sets (diesel, natural gas, biogas) through the additional production of electricity using waste heat (exhaust, cooling water), which can be reinjected into the network or used internally.
- Geothermal: integration of modules on natural sources or oil and gas applications for the production of decarbonized electricity using renewable heat.
- Industrial Processes: recovery of boiler exhaust gases, exhaust from industrial furnaces, treatment plants, cement plants, etc.
- Maritime: production of electricity using the heat generated by propulsion or auxiliary engines, thus lowering fuel consumption and pollutant gas emissions. Using ORC reduces fuel consumption off-road and in marine transportations.
The compressor for fuel cell has applications in all the mobility sector, which includes: truck transport, cars, railways, airplanes and maritime.
