Gasoline and Steam Hybrid Power technology
Introduced by Clean Power Technology Inc
Clean Power Technologies Inc (CPTI) is developing gasoline and steam hybrid power technologies to provide better fuel efficiency and reduction in the emissions. The project is unique and futuristic. Unlike the current crop of the existing alternative fuel technologies, CPTI’s technology will NOT require any new infrastructure, capital expenditure, new delivery and distribution systems and no government subsidies direct or indirect.
The technology is achieved by recovering and storing lost heat and turning it into useful power. The recovery systems can be used in many power applications on all types of transport and in various industries. The Hybrid Power will provide 40% better fuel efficiency and corresponding or greater reductions in the emissions.
Historically internal combustion engines convert only about one third of the heat in the fuel to useful work. The remaining two thirds will be partially recovered, stored and converted to useful work by means of CPTI’s hybrid power technologies.
CPTI has established a collaborative partnership with Doosan Babcock Energy Limited, to design heat recovery and other relevant technologies to use in our various applications. Doosan Babcock is a world leader in the heat and steam recovery technologies. Other collaborative relationships are under discussion.
CPTI’s technology is friendly to the global and local environment, the consumer and oil companies and is truly win-win project.
