Active Cooler

Energy production and industrial processes create high heat loads, where cooling systems are needed to remove the heat. Not only is this a waste of energy, but it also uses additional energy, resulting in higher costs and more emissions.

An active intercooler converts heat from the engine's cooling circuits into clean electrical energy, eliminating the parasitic load on the cooling system.

During peak cooling demand, the ORC expander shuts down and the system prioritizes cooling, meeting the cooling demand regardless of power generation. This is the only time, other than initial startup, that the active cooler uses power itself.

Typical applications

The active cooler is ideal for any company installing commercial cooling above 70°C (over 400 kWh).
Common industries that can benefit from Net-zero cooling to power technology include manufacturing, air/gas compression, wastewater treatment, biogas production, as well as power generation industries such as power plants, landfills, well sites, and other microgrids.

These industries generate large amounts of heat and require cooling. Designed with flexibility in mind, the Active Cooler is easily integrated into existing systems where thermal loads can reach several megawatts.

Many advantages

Engine cooling is not only an unavoidable operating expense, but all radiators must be replaced over time. Installing an active cooler as an alternative to a radiator will not only increase efficiency, but also benefit from cooling load compensation and reduce fuel consumption or increase power without additional fuel consumption or emissions.
