Heat recovery technology for equipment manufacturers and OEMs
ThermStar can supply Lepido® source equipment, a complete system configuration, ThermStar™ Power Intelligence, or a tailored combination for an equipment manufacturer or original equipment manufacturer. The partner retains the end customer relationship and responsibility for its overall equipment and project scope.
Retrofit and new equipment heat recovery applications
An OEM can use ThermStar technology to address energy leaving existing dryers, ovens, process equipment, kitchens, exhaust systems, or other installed assets.
A technical review identifies source conditions, available demand, interfaces, space, controls, and installation constraints before a solution is proposed.
New equipment applications
Early coordination can make recovery easier to incorporate into a new equipment package.
ThermStar can support application development, component selection, connection requirements, control points, data needs, and approved technical documentation.
Final design and compliance responsibilities remain with the parties assigned to them.
Controls and data integration
Available controls and monitoring can connect system operation with the partner’s equipment or customer environment.
ThermStar Power Intelligence may provide alarms, measurements, dashboards, and reporting, with building management or equipment control connections defined during project development.
What to share with us
The equipment type, in the field or new
Exhaust conditions at the source
The customer use case for the recovered heat
Anticipated volume across sites or models
The level of ThermStar supply needed
Joint application development
Repeat applications benefit from clear operating boundaries and a consistent data package.
ThermStar can collaborate on a representative application, refine the technical and commercial approach, and support later opportunities using approved information. Each end use and site still requires confirmation.
Start an OEM discussion
Share the equipment type, exhaust conditions, customer use case, anticipated volume, and the level of ThermStar supply needed. ThermStar will identify the next technical and commercial questions while protecting confidential information.
What happens next
A first conversation helps ThermStar understand the operating goal, the facility context, and the people involved in the decision. From there, the team can identify the smallest useful information request and determine whether a screen, technical review, partner discussion, or document request is appropriate.
This approach keeps the process proportionate to the opportunity while giving operations, finance, engineering, health and safety, and sustainability stakeholders clear information for the next decision.
Does ThermStar take over the OEM customer relationship
No. Equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, distributors, contractors, utilities, and other partners retain their customer relationships and responsibility for their project scopes. ThermStar provides the approved technology, components, information, and support defined for the collaboration.
Can ThermStar components fit an existing equipment standard
Potentially. The scope may include a source component, a more complete configuration, controls and monitoring, or related application support. Technical, commercial, documentation, and interface requirements are reviewed before a repeatable approach is established.
What should an equipment manufacturer provide first
A useful first inquiry identifies the partner type, customer or market need, equipment or process involved, expected exhaust conditions, potential receiving load, project stage, geography, and desired ThermStar role. Detailed confidential information can follow under the appropriate arrangements.
Can an OEM application be repeated across a product line
Yes, repeat deployment may be possible when operating conditions and project requirements are sufficiently similar. ThermStar can help define a consistent information package and review process. Each customer, site, and application must still be confirmed before supply.
