Induction Heater Patent

Embargoed Release: 07:00hrs Friday 16 January 2009 Zenergy Power plc (`Zenergy' or the `Group') Induction Heater Patent Zenergy Power plc (AIM:ZEN.L), the specialist developer and manufacturer of industrial-scale clean energy and electric power devices employing high-temperature superconductor (`HTS') technologies, is pleased to announce that it has been granted a core patent in Germany relating to its ground-breaking HTS induction heater. The patent in question covers a key operating process which governs the exceptional heating control, performance and overall productivity of the HTS machine. Accordingly, the Group now enjoys protection over a key design specification that enables the HTS induction heater to deliver significant increases in industrial output as evidenced by the recent performance data released by the Group's first industrial customer, Weseralu GmbH. -Ends- Further information Andrew Tan Zenergy Power plc + 49 2226 9060 668 Vikki Krause Hansard Group + 44 207 245 1100 Andrew Godber/Katherine Roe Panmure Gordon & Co + 44 207 459 5742 About Zenergy Power plc Zenergy Power plc is a global specialist manufacturer and developer of commercial applications for superconductive materials. Comprising three operating subsidiaries located in Germany, USA and Australia, Zenergy is highly focussed on the commercialisation of a number of energy efficient applications to be adopted in energy intensive industrial processes, power distribution and renewable power generation. Zenergy achieved the world's first sale of an industrial scale HTS induction heater which is now in operation. About superconductivity Superconductive materials are capable of conducting electricity without any resistance and were first discovered in 1911 in what was to prove to be one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century. Superconductors enable: (a) Induction Heaters to be twice as efficient for the metals industry (b) Fault Current Limiters to protect power grids from blackouts (c) Direct-drive wind generators to be significantly reduced in size and weight allowing the operation of wind generators in excess of 8 MW (d) Existing hydro-power sites to increase energy efficiency and electrical power output
