Waste Heat Recovery
5 projects
Casting Yield Optimization
A thermoelectric material-based system that recycles waste process heat to hold consistent, controlled temperatures during casting — improving product quality, reducing defects and cutting material waste.
View project
Surface Casting Improvement
Applying thermoelectric waste-heat recycling to surface casting — optimising energy use, reducing operating costs and minimising greenhouse-gas emissions in this specific manufacturing technique.
View project
Material Synthesis
Developing advanced fabrication techniques and optimising composition and structure to create thermoelectric materials with high electrical and low thermal conductivity — maximising waste-heat-to-electricity conversion.
View project
Advanced Solid-State Waste-Heat Recycling System
An efficient thermoelectric material-based system for recycling waste process heat — cutting energy consumption and operating costs while minimising greenhouse-gas emissions, where 20–50% of manufacturing energy is otherwise lost as heat.
View project
Reducing Casting Defects in Metal
Applying thermoelectric waste-heat recycling to metal casting — optimising energy use and improving operating conditions to minimise casting defects for a more reliable, high-quality process.
