Cool Energy finishes third engine

BOULDER – Cool Energy Inc. has completed its third Stirling Engine platform that converts low-temperature heat into electricity.

Boulder-based Cool Energy expects the new engine, called the SolarHeart Engine, will generate about 1.5 kilowatts of power. The engine, which will be integrated into a solar thermal system for homes and businesses, cycles gas between a hot and cold area to create energy that’s then turned into heat or electricity.

The unit could reduce energy bills by as much as 75 percent, according to the company.
