Turn Your Cooling Load Into a Capacity Solution
Powerdrive captures waste heat from on-site generators and converts it directly into cooling—eliminating 90%+ of cooling costs and freeing up megawatts for compute.
How It Works
Most waste heat recovery requires two steps: heat-to-power, then power-to-cooling. Each conversion loses energy.
Powerdrive's turbo-compressor does both in one step. Waste heat spins a turbine directly coupled to a refrigeration compressor. The result: mechanical cooling with no electricity input.
Add optional electric boost for hybrid operation. Or reverse the flow to generate power when cooling isn't needed.
Reclaim Power for Compute
By offsetting electric cooling with waste heat, megawatts that would power chillers become available for compute.
Hybrid Operation
Optional electric boost for peak loads, or reverse flow to generate power when cooling demand is low.
Proven Technology
10 years in development, 6 years of working prototype testing, and 6+ peer-reviewed academic papers.
