Sake Smits pitches the expander on BNR Nieuwsradio's Zakendoen

Our co-founder and CTO explained live on air why industrial heat pumps throw away work at the expansion valve, and what recovering it means for the business case of electrifying industrial heat.

On Friday 21 November 2025, co-founder and CTO Sake Ivo Smits was a live guest on Zakendoen, the business programme of BNR Nieuwsradio, to pitch the company in the programme's start-up slot.

The pitch is in Dutch and runs a few minutes: what an expansion valve does in a heat pump, why that step destroys energy the compressor has already paid for, and how a pressure exchanger recovers it. Listen back via the source link below.
