Suitable thermal resource.
Source temperature, flow, environmental conditions and relevant external inputs must be defined and measured for the application.

POWER AND THERMAL
MANAGEMENT.
DEVELOPED TOGETHER.
ThermaCore is developing an integrated energy platform around suitable thermal resources, with electrical generation, heating, chilling and intelligent control considered as one engineered system.
01 / Energy pathway
A new use for
thermal energy.
Start with a measurable thermal resource. Engineer the system around what the site actually has.
The public technology story is intentionally simple: define the available source conditions, integrate them with the ThermaCore platform, and evaluate useful outputs at the system boundary.
Integrated platform
ThermaCore energy platform.
What the site can use.
Electrical power, useful heating and chilling are evaluated as part of the wider system rather than as isolated component claims.
02 / Engineering principles
Designed around
the whole system.
Performance is not one component, one temperature or one headline number. The engineering programme considers system inputs, parasitic loads, controls, thermal services and sustained operation together.
Net power matters.
Electrical performance must be assessed after the system’s own electrical loads, not only at a single machine or component.
Thermal conditions matter.
Source and sink conditions shape the application. The site’s actual thermal resource is part of the engineering basis.
Integration matters.
Mechanical, electrical, controls and thermal-management requirements are treated as one coordinated platform.
Evidence matters.
Independent whole-system testing is the bridge between an engineering demonstrator and credible application-specific pilots.
03 / First demonstrator
≈3kWe engineering target
The first ThermaCore demonstrator is being developed to establish integrated electrical and thermal performance and generate the evidence needed to guide subsequent engineering decisions.
Engineering demonstrator target only. This does not define the commercial capacity of the Power-Box product family.
Validation at the system boundary
Measure what enters.
Measure what leaves.
The validation programme is intended to account for the complete system, including external energy inputs and the electrical demand of pumps, controls and auxiliary equipment.
Net electrical output
Measure usable electrical output after parasitic electrical loads, alongside start-up and other relevant external inputs.
Energy & exergy balance
Measure thermal and mass flows, quantify uncertainty and assess whether the complete system balances under defined conditions.
Operation & safety
Characterise start-up, steady operation, shutdown, restart and relevant containment and safety behaviours.
Thermal outputs
Characterise useful heating and chilling under measured source and sink conditions rather than assumed performance.
04 / Monitoring & Control
Visibility beyond
the enclosure.
SCADA is being developed as an integrated part of the ThermaCore platform.
The control environment is intended to provide operating visibility, supervisory control, alarms, trends and records that support engineering review, fault investigation and future service decisions.

05 / Development programme
From engineering
to evidence.
The first demonstrator is a deliberate step, not the finish line. Each stage should reduce uncertainty, document performance and create the basis for the next engineering or commercial decision.
