Company Profile

Our Business

rexorce Thermionics, Inc., is a rapidly growing, privately held corporation, headquartered in Akron, Ohio. We have just over 15 employees who bring experiences ranging from the design and delivery of large power generating equipment, teaching and studying the world’s finest academic institutions and the management ranks of Fortune level companies.  We come together as an organization with a common mission: to pursue profit with a purpose by providing innovative solutions to the world’s energy challenges.

Technology and Market Initiatives

Core to the company is the development of the Thermafficient(R) heat engine, a proprietary system that recovers thermal energy from a wide variety of sources and transforms it into usable energy.  The Thermafficient(R) heat engine  utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide “CO2” either alone or in combination with other working fluids to create a power generating cycle.  Our first prototype units have been successfully operated by our team in our lab.  We expect to deploy our first 250kWe pilot heat engine in early January, 2010 with one of our country’s premier national utility providers.  Following successful testing and grid connection, our unit will be deployed in an industrial setting for endurance testing and optimization.

At the same time, our markets seek opportunities to create carbonless electricity that are cost effective.  Waste Heat Recovery has been recognized as a leading candidate for cost sensitive carbonless generation accross virtually every industry.  Market demand is growing as our technology matures into a commercial ready product.  Timing is everything; and we believe our timing is excellent.

DID YOU KNOW?
For every 10 trillion Watts of energy generated from traditional combustion engines, another 15 trillion Watts of thermal energy is released into the environment. If even a small fraction of this lost heat could be converted to electricity, its impact on the energy situation would be enormous.
