Abstract:There is a large but mostly unused energy resource available from low temperature waste heat with temperatures of 80–150°C. The lack of a cost-effective technology prevents the generation of power from this potential. Recently, the Condensing Engine, which employs the condensation of steam and the arising vacuum as the driving force, had been developed to address this problem. Its simplicity and the use of water as working fluid promises cost-effectiveness. In the context of this work, it was decided to invest… Show more
