High Efficiency Engine Converting Waste Heat to Electricity
Austeng, a Vic manufacturing hall of fame and two-time Engineering Excellence award recipient, will manufacture and install Capricorn Powers first commercial advanced heat to energy engine, built on a V6 Commodore base, and independently verify much greater power output than an equivalent Organic Rankine Cycle engine. The engine will enhance energy productivity and sustainability at a customer site by providing reliable low-cost electricity and reduced waste and emissions. Benefits include knowledge and technology diffusion from partners into Geelong, and commercialising an innovative clean tech product enabling potentially very large engineering and manufacturing job growth for ex-auto skills serving new, global markets of the future'.
