Exoès

[1] The company is supported by BPI France, ADEME, the European funds (FEDER), the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and the Aquitaine and Poitou-Charentes regions.

Exoès developed a solution to recover energy contained in the hot gases expelled from the exhaust pipe of a vehicle.

At the beginning of the cycle, the heat radiates from the solar power plant and warms a fluid by a thermal exchange which transformed into pressurized steam.

The heat from the solar field vaporizes the newly condensed water and injects it back into the engine, allowing the cycle to repeat.

[12] This process is a 2010 Prize-winner of the national competition of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research in the Creation Development category.
