DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)

DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)

DTEC utilizes low temperature waste heat from various manufacturing facilities to generate energy.

Characteristics of DTEC

  1. Effective Utilization of Low Temperature Waste Heat

    DTEC enables electricity production using low temperature waste heat (200℃ or less) from industries such as oil refineries, steel plants, and chemical plants.

  2. Energy-savings and CO2 Emission Reduction

    DTEC saves energy and reduces CO2 because the system does not use fossil fuels.

  3. Possible Substitute for Cooling Facilities

    The system can be used in substitute of traditional cooling facilities.

  4. Desalination


     

    The system can produce fresh water by desalination (optional).
    For details, please refer to "Desalination and Secondary Use of Deep Seawater".
