Waste Heat Recovery Simulation
Mature, robust waste heat recovery system modeling
Mature, robust waste heat recovery system modeling
Various technologies are being explored to make use of the hot exhaust gases from engines. Two of these technologies that can be modeled in GT-SUITE are Rankine cycle and TEG (Thermo Electric Generator) systems. These systems can be integrated with a GT-POWER engine model to predict energy recovery across a wide range of operating conditions.
Using GT-SUITE’s proven two-phase approach used in modeling air conditioning systems with fluid properties from NIST Refprop, Rankine cycle models are simulated to explore fuel savings and investigate advanced control strategies. Complex layouts including multiple heat exchanger stages and valving systems are supported.
Studies using TEGs include investigating new advanced Peltier-effect materials and different layouts for maximizing the amount of power generation between the hot and cold streams. Companies using GT-SUITE can reduce physical testing by finding optimal designs in simulation instead of trail-and-error testing.
