… how much heat is emitted by a red
hot steel slab while it cools down from
900°C to ambient temperature?
Is heat energy really waste?
… that in every combustion engine
driven vehicle 2/3 of your fuel
energy is converted into heat?
Have you ever thought about…

energy boostingo-flexxVision of O-Flexx
Waste heat is one of the biggest
but rarely used resources of energy.
O-Flexx‘s vision of a greener future is to exploit waste heat
by delivering novel world-class thermoelectric generators
and systems turning heat into electricity offering an to date
unrivaled level of efficiency.
