Alfa Laval introduces E-PowerPack ORC waste heat recovery system for ships

Green Car Congress

Alfa Laval is introducing the E-PowerPack waste heat recovery system for ships. Able to convert waste heat directly into electrical power, the E-PowerPack uses Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology to reduce ship fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. The basic principle of an ORC system can be thought of as the opposite of a heat pump.

MAN Engines approves off-road engines for use with regenerative diesel/HVO

Green Car Congress

Marine engines for regenerative diesel have already been approved. This is obtained on the basis of waste and residues of animal and plant origin, cellulosic biomass materials such as crop residues, among others. This is the complete power range of MAN off-road engines from 160 to 1,110 hp (118 to 816 kW).
