ORC waste heat recovery - INDUCAL®

INDUCAL-„industrial caloric" describes our organic rankine cycle-waste heat recovery product line that makes it possible to recover waste heat efficiently from industrial plants, such as glass and steel mills or big engines for the generation of electricity.

The primarily named waste heat sources nowadays are mainly not recovered since most of the time they are only available on low temperature levels (up to 300°C/572°F) with small power outputs. Based on these reasons such waste heat potentials can not be converted into electricity with the water steam cycle, because of the high investment costs of such plants and physical properties of water.

INDUCAL®-heat recovery modules
  • operate fully automated based on the low pressures in the waste heat recovery ORC-process. Therefore the modules need no supervision and operate highly economically;
  • are being fitted to thermal sources individually at GMK by the choice of a matching ORC-working medium;
  • achieve maximal efficiencies of up to 21% by innovative plant and molecular design.
