[{"type":"text","content":"\nSpokane, Washington, Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  REGI U.S., Inc. (“REGI” or “RGUS” or \"the Company\") RGUS (OTCMKTS) The Board of Directors, Regi U.S., Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc. (RadMax), are pleased to be working with a Department of Energy national laboratory. RadMax is supporting the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in Richland, WA to develop and demonstrate a new, reduced cost energy system. PNNL’s patent-pending Harmonic Adsorption Recuperative Power (HARP) system implements a new non-condensing thermodynamic cycle projected to be 40% more efficient than commercially available organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems, when paired with a suitable low temperature heat source.\n RadMax will design and build an axial-vane, rotary gas expander that will operate in the 1-to-2 kW range. The RadMax device will be used to expand the high-pressure refrigerant generated by the HARP system to drive an electrical generator. With no need for fluid condensation, less heat is rejected to the environment and the HARP system can produce power even under high ambient temperature conditions where conventional ORC systems shutdown. PNNL’s research project is funded by DOE’s Geothermal Technologies Office. It is the first of several projects currently being jointly pursued by RadMax Technologies and PNNL. ABOUT REGI U.S., INC RadMax Technologies, Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of REGI U.S., Inc., is a research and product development company that is designing, developing and proving a family of smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient rotary engines, compressors, pumps and gas expanders for civilian, commercial and government applications. Our focus is on developing advanced devices that reduce carbon footprint, reduce device size, weight and parts counts, and increase fuel and manufacturing efficiencies. Based on our innovative and patented RadMax axial van-type technology, our devices are designed for high output to weight ratio and are easily scalable from small to very large.
