Phoenix 5-Series Generator
The P5S is expected to be the first power generator capable of utilizing waste oil products, such as used motor/equipment oil, to produce electricity for on-site operational requirements or as a power grid feed. Utilizing the award-wining, clean burning Cyclone External Combustion Engine, preliminary designs rate the P5S generator system as producing upwards of 60kW-h of electrical energy on approximately 3½ gallons of waste oil.
The benefits of the P5S for industrial facilities, municipal maintenance departments, automotive and truck fleet operators, railroad yards, lube centers and service stations, and many other similar operations is clear.
The fuel they can use to power their facilities or feed back to the grid is essentially free, if not a profit center.
The waste oil has already served its original intended purpose for which the associated costs have previously been expensed. Furthermore, disposal costs of waste oil by-products, if required, and long term liability are eliminated.
The P5S will present a needed solution to the environmental problem of waste oil disposal. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the US produces 1.4 billion gallons of waste oil annually. Unfortunately about 500 million gallons are not collected and disposed of properly. Of the amount that is collected only 10% is re-refined. Instead of presenting a contaminate to our water tables, rivers and oceans, the P5S will burn that waste oil thoroughly and cleanly.
At the heart of the P5S system is the Cyclone Engine, a quiet, clean burning external combustion engine developed by Cyclone Power Technologies. The patented Cyclone Engine is a 21st century, high efficiency steam engine. It combusts fuel in a cyclonic external chamber at temperatures and pressures below where harmful emissions such as NOx are created, and at noise levels no greater than a washing machine. Equally interesting, the Cyclone Engine, which can effectively run on used motor oil, actually uses no motor oil in the engine – it is completely water lubricated in an enclosed system that requires no fluid changing or topping off.
THE PHOENIX 5-SERIES GENERATOR IS CURRENTLY UNDER-DEVELOPMENT AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE IN PRODUCTION BY THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2010.
