Using Waste Heat

2006-02-02 Thread John Coviello 



There are a number of companies working on ways to 
use waste heat from both power generation and industrial processes to generate 
power. Some of these schemes propose to increase gas and coal generating 
efficiencies above 50%, from current efficiencies around 35%. These 
technologies run waste heat through a secondary generation loop using lower 
boiling point liquids to drive trubines to generate electricity. Ramping 
up this technology and using it with new ethanol plants would reduce our need 
for new power plants of all kinds.

Here is an Internet resource pagethat I created that creafocuses on 
Advanced Power Generation schemes, mainly using waste heat to run a secondary 
power generation loop, thus increasing electricaloutput and 
efficiency.
