Uses in the OSE context / product ecology
- small wind installations, mechanically coupled to air compressor
- energy storage
- pneumatic motors
- compressed air water pump
- various ventilation uses (e.g. greenhouses, biomass drying, Passivhaus etc.)
- generate compressed air via heat engine that powers an air compressor via mechanical transmission
