New waste heat recovery system
Research project | A current research project is aiming to develop a new waste heat recovery system that can not only deliver fuel savings of up to 8% but also transform environmental standards in the marine sector. The two-year GBP 3.6 million project is funded by the UK-based Energy Technologies Institute (ETI), and is being led by US-headquartered AVID Technology, with the benefit of assistance from British Royston Power and France’s Enogia SAS. Engineering specialist RED Engineering is also providing support and input, as the concept, which aims to reduce emissions and vessel operating costs by converting waste heat from the engine into electricity, is developed for the marine sector.
