This patent, numbered 12149146, provides Zparq exclusive rights in the United States until 2041, underscoring the company’s position as a leader in sustainable marine propulsion.
A Leap Forward for Eco-Friendly Marine Innovation
The patented Hyperflow Cooling™ technology represents a fundamental shift in electric propulsion design. By integrating passive cooling directly into the motor’s structure, Zparq has achieved an electric POD motor that is up to ten times lighter and more compact than traditional alternatives on the market. This reduction in size and weight translates into significant improvements in energy efficiency, reduced raw material usage, and minimal maintenance requirements.
“Our mission at Zparq is to drive the transition to sustainable marine propulsion systems,” said Jonas Genchel, CEO of Zparq AB. “The Hyperflow Cooling™ technology is central to this goal, and securing a U.S. patent strengthens our ability to bring this innovation to one of the world’s largest markets.”
Sustainability at the Core
Traditional marine engines, reliant on fossil fuels, contribute heavily to pollution, noise disturbance, and climate change. Zparq’s electric propulsion systems are designed to address these issues with sustainable, high-performance solutions. The Hyperflow Cooling™ system eliminates the need for complex active cooling mechanisms, significantly lowering energy consumption while enhancing durability.
The environmental benefits of this technology extend beyond its operation:
Reduced raw material usage: The smaller, lighter design of the motors minimizes resource consumption during production.
Lower carbon footprint: Improved energy efficiency and reduced emissions throughout the product lifecycle.
Circular design: Zparq’s focus on modularity and recyclability ensures minimal environmental impact at the end of the motor’s life.
“Hyperflow Cooling™ is more than an engineering innovation,” Genchel explained. “It’s a commitment to creating products that are not only efficient but also sustainable in every phase, from production to recycling.”
Positioned for Global Growth
With the marine industry moving rapidly toward electrification, Zparq’s innovative solutions are arriving at a critical time. Stricter emissions regulations and growing demand for eco-friendly technologies place the company in a strong position to shape the future of the market. The U.S. patent for Hyperflow Cooling™ amplifies Zparq’s competitive advantage, enabling the company to meet the needs of American boat builders, operators, and enthusiasts seeking cleaner alternatives.
“The U.S. is a key market for marine technology, and this patent is a major milestone for Zparq” said Genchel. “It not only protects our intellectual property but also allows us to collaborate with forward-thinking stakeholders in the region who share our vision for sustainable boating.”
