 ORC Waste Heat to Power
Industrial Needs

Core Technology
The amount of low grade waste heat(<230 oC) from
industrial sector in Taiwan is around 30 GW. Using ORCs
to convert the waste heat to power is a multi-billion USD
business
Innovative Technology Screw Expander Axial Turbine
ORC System Engineering: Rotor (3600 rpm) (12,000 rpm)
Optimization, module installation and logistic service
tailored to heat sources and heat sinks.
Engine Core:
(1) Capacity 200 kW: screw-expander ORC

PD&D
(2) Capacity 200 kW: turbine ORC
Transcritical ORC (TRC):
Design, construction, and test of 20 kW TRC prototype.
Status of Commercialization 60 kW Screw Expander ORC Demo Unit
Demo Units in Operation:

Price Competitivity

 Taiwans LED Lighting Industry
The worlds third largest in revenue; the second in production
volume
Market has reached NTD 204 billion (US$ 6.8 billion) in 2012
(186.7 billion in 2011, 0.3% growth)
Taiwans LED lighting is likely to account for 30 percent of the
global market by 2015, and LED light sources and fixture cost
are the key.
