Alfa Laval E-PowerPack Converts Waste Heat into Power
Alfa Laval's newly launched E-PowerPack converts waste heat into power, enabling energy savings and compliance.Waste heat is a readily available but under-utilized energy source on board. Heat in the engine exhaust gas accounts for 50% of the energy from combusted fuel, and there is additional heat to recover from steam and liquids. Alfa Laval's new E PowerPack puts all these heat sources to work for savings and compliance with sustainability requirements.The E-PowerPack uses Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology to turn waste heat into clean electrical power.
