MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511123076 A) filed by K. R. Mangalam University, Gurugram, Haryana, on Dec. 6, 2025, for 'system for thermal gradient-driven energy recovery in industrial operations.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Imran Siraj; and Dr. Ravinder Beniwal.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system for thermal gradient-driven energy recovery in industrial operations through an integrated architecture that converts distributed temperature differentials into usable energy. The system incorporates a network of real-time thermal sensing units that generate a high-resolution map of heat variations across industrial equipment and structural surfaces. Modular heat-capture modules interface with thermally active zones to extract low-grade and mid-grade heat, which is converted through thermoelectric, micro-turbine, phase-change, or hybrid conversion pathways. An adaptive control module interprets evolving thermal patterns using predictive analytics, dynamically regulating capture and conversion operations to maximize energy output without disrupting industrial processes. Recovered energy is routed through an integration interface to electrical loads, thermal circuits, or on-site storage. The invention delivers a scalable, intelligent, and efficient approach to industrial energy optimization by transforming waste heat into a reliable secondary energy resource."
