30-01-2023 - Encontech IE-engine at RTL Z (video)Presentation of Encontech's Isobaric-expansion engine at RTL Z TV program "De Barometer"
07-11-2021 - Heat-driven refrigeration set-up (video)Encontech has developed, constructed and tested a heat-driven refrigeration set-up based on isobaric expansion (IE) engine-compressor.The IE engine-compressor uses hot water with temperature of 50-60C as a heat source and cooled by tap water with temperature of about 20C. The set-up generates cold with temperature up to -10C using refrigerant R134a as working fluid - DEVELOPMENTS, VIDEO.
