Coolbrook and Turbostream to accelerate the delivery of Decarbonisation technology for Heavy Industries

Coolbrook, a transformational technology and engineering company on a mission to decarbonize heavy industry, and Turbostream, a leading developer of high-performance simulation tools for turbomachinery, have announced a collaboration to support the rapid optimization and deployment of Coolbrook’s proprietary RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) and RotoDynamic Reactor™ (RDR™) technologies. By leveraging Turbostream’s advanced simulation technology, the partnership will enable Coolbrook to optimize its designs to site-specific installations and save months of costly iteration time, as it begins to roll out the first wave of deliveries to customers.

By combining Turbostream’s GPU-accelerated aerodynamic and thermo-mechanical simulations in an integrated Digital Twin model, Coolbrook can replace physical testing with digital simulation, evaluating product performance and reliability at an early stage in the design process before physical verification tests, allowing the machines to be optimized and refined. This allows the Coolbrook RotoDynamic Heater™ and RotoDynamic Reactor™ design teams to move quickly to high-fidelity simulations, accelerating the deployment of this patented technology.

When implemented at scale, the technologies have the potential to reduce global CO₂ emissions from heavy industry by up to 30%, equivalent to 2.4 billion tonnes annually through electrification powered by renewable energy.

Mark Wilson, Head of Engineering and Manufacturing at Coolbrook, stated, “This is a really exciting collaboration for Coolbrook, bringing in the world-class turbomachinery design, optimization and analysis methods from Turbostream into the heart of the RotoDynamic Heater™ and RotoDynamic Reactor™ design processes. This allows us to accelerate the development time of our machines to allow Coolbrook to maintain its position as market leader in the technology needed to address the hard-to-abate industrial sector.”

Speaking on the partnership, Tobias Brandvik, Co-Founder and Director, Turbostream Ltd, said, “Our collaboration with Coolbrook represents a milestone for Turbostream as we apply our GPU‑accelerated Digital Twin simulation capabilities to multi-disciplinary engineering challenges. We are proud to support Coolbrook in its mission to decarbonize heavy industry and are excited to see Turbostream transform the design process with high-fidelity multi-physics simulations.”
