Heating System Converts Industrial Waste Into Electricity
Energyharvestingjournal.com reported that Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been working on building a heating system that can turn waste into energy. The heating system aims to use heat from industrial waste and transform it into electricity. The highly efficient heating system function as an energy convertor and it cools different objects while it produces electricity. This makes the heating system under development a great opportunity for energy saving.
The director of the program, Hunter, says that the heat system can be used to efficiently convert heat energy from waste products, and deployed to cool high-end electronic objects such as high-performance computer chips. The heat system is primarily based on the concept of pyroelectricity, and it aims to make pyroelectricity feasible by converting greater amounts of thermal energy into electricity.
