Main AG has started a new offensive on Mainstrip on all continents to find partners/investors/customers for the Mainstrip technology.
Mainpower
Mainpower is a new approach to transforming heat directly into electric power.
In heat-loaded processes as in foundries or steelworks installations and products are cooled down with water circuits. These installations are mainly furnaces, casting installations, rolling mills and products during solidification and cooling down. With an integral TEG module, the heat energy is transformed directly into electrical energy. The TEG modules are loaded on the hot side directly with hot water, gas or radiation. Existing TEG modules are used in serial and parallel order to generate electrical power.
