FAQ
ENERGIFY is a special low-pressure expansion unit based on a special rotary piston unit (rotary piston expander). It enables steam used in industrial applications to be efficiently converted into electrical energy at appropriate points in the steam network.
High performance even at minimal pressure differences and high availability due to robust and low-maintenance design.
By completing the request form, we can carry out initial performance calculations for you.
In addition, we would be pleased to arrange on-site appointments with you and provide an initial assessment of the potential implementation of ENERGIFY in your entire steam process.
ENERGIFY can use steam whose pressure or pressure difference, is too low, e. g. at pressure reducing valves, to operate a conventional steam turbine economically.
Saturated steam, superheated steam, or wet steam with temperatures of 200 °C can be used. The steam must be free of metal particles, dust, chemical impurities, air, etc.
The following connection conditions apply to the currently designed system types:
Connection to fresh steam and exhaust steam line (T 200 °C, p 15 bar/g).
Yes, other gases besides steam can also be expanded. The maximum permissible pressure must be observed. Furthermore, the gases should not be chemically aggressive.
This depends on the operating conditions at the user’s site, e.g., the design of a condenser, a downstream steam application, and the hydraulic conditions of the downstream piping system.
The maximum inlet pressure is 15 bar, with a minimum pressure difference of 0.5 bar.
ENERGIFY is rated for approximately 20 years of operation.
Investment costs depend on the performance class of ENERGIFY. The performance class is determined by the given steam parameters. A payback period of 3 years is possible. We would be pleased to provide you with a non-binding quote.
In principle, follow-up costs are limited to annual maintenance costs. These costs amount to approximately 3% of the total investment.
Yes, depending on the primary energy source used and the heat utilisation, a feed-in tariff can currently be applied for the electricity supplied by ENERGIFY. ENERGIFY alone is not a CHP plant, but in combination with a steam boiler, a CHP plant can be created.
ENERGIFY generates electricity from steam volumes, such as exhaust steam or steam conversion, which previously could not be used to generate electricity. This electricity can replace conventionally generated electricity. ENERGIFY thus reduces CO₂ emissions that would have been produced during the generation of the electricity it replaces.
