Fuel- and emission-free generators convert low-grade waste heat from diesel generators into power. In 2014, three organic Rankine cycle (ORC) generators were installed to turn the waste heat from ...

Use of waste heat contributes largely to sustainable energy supply. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and T?hoku University in Japan have now come much closer to their goal of ...

(Nanowerk News) Use of waste heat contributes largely to sustainable energy supply. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Tohoku University in Japan have now come much closer to ...

Power plants waste huge amounts of energy as heat—about 40 to 80 percent of the total in the fuel they burn. A new device could reduce that waste, cutting fuel consumption and carbon emissions by as ...

Dallas’ Southern Methodist University is now recycling energy with one of the first commercial electricity generators that use thermoelectricity—the act of drawing power from waste heat. The machine ...

Waste heat recovery is a significant opportunity – in 2015, 59.2 quadrillion BTU of energy was wasted mainly in the form of heat. Much of the waste heat has been characterized by its source and its ...

Converting waste heat into energy is an eco-friendly technology arguably better suited to dense downtown areas in the Pacific Northwest than wind and solar-powered systems. Waste heat recovery, ...

Waste heat generated by electronics is a big problem. Not only can it damage components if it gets out of hand, but it represents a large amount of energy going to waste. Now scientists at the ...

Nextreme Thermal Solutions Inc. announces a new series of thin-film thermoelectric power generators that offer higher power, more robust mechanical design, and ease of integration with common sources ...

New thermionic generator overcomes the 'space-charge problem'. (Courtesy: J Mannhart/MPG) A new type of thermionic generator that turns heat or light into electrical energy has been developed by ...

In neighborhoods around the world, a potent resource slips away unnoticed. This buried treasure is waste heat — a powerhouse for low-carbon energy that often remains untapped. Buildings, factories and ...
