  •  Sovereign Steel…revealed the technology, known as the Thermal Kinetic Energiser (TKE) system

  • TKE technology, which changes the heat transfer properties of thermal processing from radiant heat to kinetic energy…replaces conventional gas burners entirely.
  • The TKE system produces a molecular jet speed of 220 m/s and significantly reduces processing times and heat loss, ensuring a gas saving of up to 80%.
  • TKE was developed by South African inventor Carl Mörsner in Europe in 2006…to oxidise and destroy waste contents placed in an industrial chamber using heat.
  • …could also be generally used for heat-transfer technology in kilns, furnaces and boilers, because of its heat transfer properties.
  • …these industries were initially reluctant to believe his claims…describes as “outrageous claims”…
  • Sovereign Tec has subsequently been awarded the global rights to the technology.
  • …complete temperature uniformity, which eliminates workpiece distortion and required straightening; no cold or hot spots in the charge, furnace or boiler; and high-speed natural heat ramp-up time, which dramati- cally reduces the cycle time in preheating preparation and further reduces a manufacturing plant’s gas and electricity consumption by up to 80%.
