Diesel genset efficiency optimization is sparking interest among miners, a new report by THEnergy reveals.
The approach is based on conventional steam turbine technology, but advances have allowed it to be deployed at a smaller scale.
The principle behind it is addressing the issue of diesel engines being able to convert only 40 percent of the fuel energy into electricity, while the rest is not used. Waste heat recovery can reduce diesel consumption by approximately 7 percent, and in t…
