Cyclone Power Technologies Receives Sixth U.S. Patent for its Green Engine
POMPANO BEACH, Fla.- Cyclone Power Technologies (Pink Sheets: CYPW) announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Patent Allowance on the pre-heater coil of the Company’s heat-regenerative external combustion engine.
The patented pre-heater coil serves two important functions for the Cyclone Engine. First, it absorbs heat from expanding steam at the instant it escapes from the engine’s cylinders to pre-heat the working fluid, de-ionized water, before entering the combustion chamber. This process increases net cycle thermal efficiencies and decreases the amount of fuel required to operate the engine. Secondly, the process acts as a pre-condenser, turning steam back into water before even entering the condensing unit, allowing the system to cool itself more efficiently.
“The pre-heater coil is a key component that really separates our heat-regenerative external combustion engine from steam technology of the past, and for this reason, it’s really an important patent to have issued,” stated Harry Schoell, Cyclone’s CEO and inventor of the engine.
The current patent on the Cyclone Engine is its sixth in the United States. The Company now has patents on each of the major component systems of the engine – one on its combustion chamber, two on its mechanical operations (comprised of pistons, valves, bearings and other sub-components), one on the condensing system, and now one on the unique heat-recuperation processes of the system. The Company also has an overall patent on the total Cyclone Engine system in the United States and several other nations throughout the world.
