Scroll Expanders for Waste Heat Recovery
Scroll Technology for Waste Heat Recovery

Air Squared has nearly two decades of experience designing custom scroll expanders for waste heat recovery systems, ranging in output power from 300 W up to 80 kW.

In 2006, Air Squared demonstrated our expander design - a 1 kW scroll expander for a small-scale organic Rankine cycle. In the years since, Air Squared has demonstrated large-scale scroll expanders, applied proprietary spinning and staged scroll technology to reduce size and weight, completed an advanced test rig to support expander validation, and even designed two compact ORC systems of our own. Air Squared has more scroll expander design experience than any company in the world and can deliver a custom solution for your application specifications in as little as six months.
