Marlow Industries Launches Green Power Alternative for Commercial Wireless Applications

DALLAS, TX, Sep 26 (MARKET WIRE) --
Marlow Industries, the world leader in high performance quality
thermoelectric technology, today launched the EverGen series, a complete
range of thermoelectric-based energy harvesting devices, offering
customers a low-cost, zero-maintenance power solution for wireless sensor
applications.

Existing energy solutions for sensor networks require customers to rely
on expensive wired systems or short-lived batteries. Marlow's thermal
energy harvesters power wireless sensors without a battery, reducing
maintenance and replacement costs. Marlow is currently working with
customers across multiple industries to build energy harvesting devices
for existing wireless sensor applications as well as to transition wired
applications to wireless.

"Marlow's R&D efforts have focused on the specific needs voiced by our
customers," said Stefan Ikelman, market manager, power generators and
contract R&D for Marlow Industries. "Marlow's new thermal energy
harvesting products will enable customers to realize significant savings
in costs and time whether they are maintaining existing wireless sensors
or deploying new ones."

By converting small degrees of temperature difference into milliwatts of
electrical power, Marlow's line of thermoelectric energy harvesting
solutions can perpetually power wireless sensors for the lifetime of the
application. This green innovation offers a solid-state, reliable energy
source for sensors, actuators, valve solenoids and other small devices by
recycling wasted heat.

With new building codes requiring sophisticated lighting, heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC), "smart" designs are key
to moderating usage. By integrating Marlow's thermoelectric energy
harvesters, builders will have a cost-effective and green alternative
that will relieve resources spent powering these devices.

Marlow offers three energy harvesting solutions today, with additional
products planned, to suit a wide range of environmental conditions,
including:

-- EverGen Liquid-to-Air: harvests the thermal energy between a higher
temperature fluid stream and ambient air via natural convection for
conversion to electrical power.
-- EverGen Liquid-to-Liquid: harvests the thermal energy between a higher
temperature fluid stream and lower temperature fluid stream for
conversion to electrical power.
-- EverGen Solid-to-Air: harvests the thermal energy between a higher
temperature solid surface and ambient air via natural convection for
conversion to electrical power.

"Thermal energy offers a green alternative for powering smart
devices," said Barry Nickerson, general manager, Marlow Industries. "As
the world's largest thermoelectric manufacturer, Marlow has committed its
engineering resources in collaboration with our customers to transform
this emerging alternative energy market into a mainstream application."

Marlow EverGen thermoelectric energy harvesters are now currently
available to the general market. For more information visit the company's
