[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n SPOKANE, Wash., March 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- (\"REGI\" or \"RGUS\" or \"the Company\") The Board of Directors, Regi U.S., Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, RadMax Technologies, Inc., (USOTC:RGUS) announce that a provisional patent application has been filed with the U.S. patent office for the use of RadMax two-phase compressors and expanders to increase the efficiency of air conditioning and refrigeration cycles.\n According to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data, approximately 900 billion kW of electricity was used by air conditioning and refrigeration systems in the U.S. in 2016. Analysis shows that the use of RadMax two-phase expanders and compressors could increase overall A/C-refrigeration system efficiency by 5% - 10%, and decreased electricity use by 10% - 15%. If these devices were fully implemented in all relevant applications, 50 150 billion kWh of electricity ($5 - $15 billion), and up to 200 million metric tons of CO2 fossil fuel related emissions could be saved annually in the U.S. alone. RadMax Technologies has filed a concept paper on the use of RadMax two-phase compressors and expanders for increased air conditioning/refrigeration system efficiency in response to a Department of Energy announcement that funds are available for the development of new high-potential, high-impact energy technologies. Conceptual design of the new refrigerant based products will be primarily under the direction of Michel Garcia, PhD. Michel recently joined REGI and brings to our engineering staff a wealth of knowledge and experience in the areas of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and mathematical modeling, as well as metal working and prototype design and testing.
