Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 5-6 - Market competition driving widespread deployment &/"Bankable" grade asset class

Normally, heat exchangers tend to clog, foul, or lose efficiency when processing dirty fluids. By holding a constant rotation of the exchanging surfaces (the discs), RHeX can keep itself clean, thus maintaining a constant efficiency. One of the key characteristics of this design is the ability to offer a low pressure-loss in the dirty circuit, behaving as a drain channel. This avoids the need for any additional pumping thanks to the novel geometry of the rotor disks. These allow a forward pumping actions of the fluid. RHeX can efficiently recover with low maintenance when treating sewage streams or highly contaminated industrial processes. During summer, the system can be used as a higher efficiency air condition unit, and in winter, it can be combined with a heat pump to harvest energy from low enthalpy heat sources such as city sewage.
