PR Newswire
The patented SCE system utilizes conventional state-of-the-art technology in a unique method to create the best possible answer to power generation issues - a high efficiency power generation system with heat recovery that is split between the end-user and the grid. This patented concept of splitting the electric load enables the engine to run at constant load and speed, thus maintaining the engine at its maximum efficiency level. These systems can reduce electric bills by up to 20 percent.
Waste heat supports Tokyo tropical forest
The Japan News
When I opened the door to the Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome in Koto Ward, Tokyo, I was met by warm air flowing out from inside. The huge glassed-in dome, whose interior resembles a tropical forest, houses about 800 species of tropical plants.
The thermal source for the greenhouse, which is heated with a warm-water pipe circulation system, is heat generated during garbage incineration at a nearby waste disposal center.
