Heat recovery system

To make use of fuel energy wasted as heat during the combustion process, BorgWarner developed the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery system. Combining multiple technologies such as a heat exchanger within an optimized overall package, the ORC generates electrical power while recovering about 50 percent of the energy wasted as heat. Features Compact package and very low weight (<10 kg) Integrated high-pressure pump Requires no external lubrication Benefits Up to 91 percent overall efficiency 65 percent peak turbine efficiency 7 kW nominal and 13 kW maximum output
