West Palm Beach, (October 2, 2012) — Bob Kraft, founder of Powerphase LLC has been invited to speak at the Power-GEN International trade show at the Orlando County Convention Center December 11-13, 2012. Mr. Kraft will discuss Aeroboost Injection (ABI) technology, a patent-pending method for boosting Gas Turbine power output. ABI is a more cost-effective & efficient way to get more power from Gas Turbines than other methods & additions currently available. Powerphase LLC has developed a package called Turbophase that uses ABI to get 10%+ more power from Combined Cycle Gas Turbines and up to 20% more power from Simple Cycle Gas Turbines. Turbophase is a modular package, as shown here, and can be added to gas turbines with a simple, low risk installation in only a few days.

Turbophase combines a highly efficient reciprocating engine—fueled  with natural gas, diesel or biodiesel—driving  an intercooled compressor that takes its air flow output through a recuperator for heating and then directly into the combustion section of the gas turbine.  It starts in seconds, runs indefinitely, and thanks to the much greater combustion efficiency of the reciprocating engine, produces no efficiency penalty for the overall power plant facility.”The most significant feature is that the package does not take anything away from the gas turbine in simple or combined cycle, and there is therefore no effect on base load combined cycle efficiency whether the Turbophase system is running or not,” said Bob Kraft, President of Powerphase LLC. Kraft continued, “I look forward to presenting at Power-GEN as both plant managers and executives will be interested to hear more about a new way to get more power from existing assets using a method that is faster & easier to install, cleaner & more affordable than alternatives.” Bob Kraft, Pat Conroy, VP Operations & Peter Perri, VP Marketing from Powerphase LLC will be in attendance at Power-GEN, booth number 5840.About Power-GEN International: POWER-GEN International offers comprehensive coverage of the trends, technologies and issues facing the power generation sector.

West Palm Beach, (September 27, 2012) — Powerphase, LLC will showcase Turbophase at the New York City based Advanced Energy Conference in the Jacob K. Javits Center October 30th & 31st. Bob Kraft & Pat Conroy will be in attendance and unveil a scale model of Turbophase, the Company’s patent pending Aeroboost Injection (ABI) technology for Gas Turbines. “Customers have expressed strong interest in Turbophase because it can give an immediate 10% or more power increase for combined cycle units & up to 20% for simple cycle gas turbines. If a customer wants to boost capacity, it makes a lot of sense to add Turbophase to an existing plant instead of siting, permitting & installing a new peaker.” said Bob Kraft, the Company’s founder & president.

New York, (April 2, 2012) Bob Kraft has formed Powerphase LLC (www.Powerphase.com) along with his business partner Pat Conroy.  Both are long time players in the power generation industry. Kraft was a co-founder and later president of the highly successful Power Systems Mfg. (PSM) of Jupiter, Florida which grew into a world leader in advanced gas turbine components and systems.  Conroy, formerly the SVP of PSM spent many years at Westinghouse and subsequently at Catalytica Energy Systems before joining Kraft at PSM in 2003.  Both left that company in 2010.  Before founding PSM Kraft was a jet engine technologist at Pratt & Whitney in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Powerphase plans to manufacture unique power augmentation and energy storage systems designed to retrofit onto existing gas turbine power plants.  The products called Turbophase and Powerphase+, respectively, are based on several inventions in the field for which patents are being sought.Kraft, the majority owner and president of the new company, said “We’ve concluded that although a large potential market exists for peak power augmentation and energy storage integrated with gas turbines; the existing technologies fail to deliver an attractive economic return because of a combination of high capital costs and low efficiency.”  He continued, “I’ve been single-mindedly focusing on ways to overcome these hurdles and have developed a breakthrough product incorporating several new technologies that should change the business equation for owners of these machines.”The company’s initial headquarters are in New York City.  They plan to establish engineering and sales offices in South Florida.Powerphase is currently raising its first round of institutional capital and is in discussions with several potential investors.Learn more at https://powerphase.com.
