Superconducting spintronics is based on the creation of spin-triplet Cooper pairs in ferromagnet-superconductor (F-S) hybrid junctions. Manipulation of spin-polarized supercurrents typically requires the ability to carefully control magnetic materials. We here propose a quantum heat engine that generates equal-spin Cooper pairs and drives supercurrents on-demand without manipulating magnetic components. Our proposal is based on a S-F-S junction, connecting two leads at different temperatures, on top of the helical edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator. Remarkably, only crossed Andreev reflections contribute to the charge current while electron cotunneling is responsible for the heat flow to the cold lead. Such a purely nonlocal Andreev thermoelectric effect injects spin-polarized Cooper pairs at the superconductors producing a supercurrent that can be switched on/off by tuning their relative phase.
