Project description

A new type of variable expander with dynamically adjustable internal volume ratio for highly fluctuating residual heat conditions is considered an alternative to existing solutions and was filed as a patent application. The objective of this project is to develop a proof-of-concept setup to validate the behavior of the key components and demonstrate their capabilities to potential industrial partners
