Preheating and evaporation
The working fluid is preheated and evaporated using the available heat source.
Organic Rankine Cycle
With more than 15 years of experience in waste-heat recovery and ORC systems, our team supports developers, EPCs and industrial partners from initial cycle definition to equipment integration and project execution.

The working fluid is preheated and evaporated using the available heat source.
The vapour expands through a Heatlift turbine that drives a generator to produce electricity.
Liquid preheating with steam desuperheating can be added to optimise the cycle.
The vapour is condensed using an air-cooled condenser or hydrocondenser.
The liquid working fluid is pumped back to the evaporator to restart the cycle.
Our process engineers can assess the complete thermodynamic system. The objective is to achieve the right balance between electrical output, efficiency, operability, CAPEX and OPEX.
Evaluation of the heat source, cooling conditions and operating profile, followed by pre-sizing of the cycle and its main components.
Working-fluid selection, cycle architecture and operating-point optimisation to maximise recoverable power and project value.
Definition of the main characteristics and technical requirements for the turbine, heat exchangers, pumps, condenser and balance of plant.
Technical reviews, supplier coordination, performance analysis and engineering support through detailed design, installation and commissioning.
Turbomachinery
Heatlift develops turbines, expanders and centrifugal compressors around the fluid, process conditions and complete energy system. Our engineering combines advanced calculation tools with proven field experience.
For special applications and technology partnerships, we can provide a targeted R&D study or a complete machine engineering package extending from preliminary sizing to industrial validation.
Operating-point analysis, architecture selection, stage definition and preliminary sizing according to the process requirements.
One-dimensional design, blade and flow-path development, CFD analysis and performance-map prediction.
Rotor-bearing architecture, critical-speed analysis, structural verification, materials selection and machine integration.
Manufacturing follow-up, instrumentation strategy, test procedures, performance validation, site commissioning and industrialisation support.
