Description
The aim of the project is to use waste heat for the production of green electricity and its further use to reduce the resulting temperature released into the air. With the successful implementation of the project, it is expected to create a product that will be small & smart and usable for a wide range of applications, especially in industry, or in the future in other sectors. This device will be built on the use of the Organic Rankine Cycle and can operate efficiently in the expected range of waste heat temperatures of 70-150 °C. Thanks to fuel-free operation, it is emission-free electricity production. Similar devices already exist, but achieving a financial return from the production of 1 kW(e) would mean a significant expansion of the possibilities of using such a device.
Summary of project results
During the project implementation, several challenges were encountered. Ensuring adherence to timelines, managing resources effectively, and maintaining clear communication among all parties were critical challenges. The procurement process for acquiring and integrating the necessary equipment and technologies required careful coordination. Additionally, the development and design of device components involved significant research and collaboration among various teams to ensure the integration of innovative technologies. The production and commissioning phase required thorough testing to ensure functionality and compliance with intellectual property rights applications. Despite these challenges, the project management team successfully kept the project on track, meeting all scheduled milestones and promptly addressing any issues that arose.
The project involved several key activities, including the purchase and delivery of new technology, development and design of device components, and production and commissioning of the device. The procurement process was completed successfully, with all required equipment delivered and installed as scheduled. The development phase focused on creating detailed drawings and specifications for the device components, involving significant research and collaboration. The production phase involved manufacturing device components, assembly, and thorough testing to ensure functionality. Intellectual property rights applications were filed to protect the innovations developed during the project. The final activity focused on information dissemination and project publicity, including preparing marketing materials, conducting information sessions, and maintaining an updated project website.
The project successfully commercialized several products and services, meeting the planned indicators and significantly contributing to its overall success. The integration of innovative technologies, completion of design and development, successful production and commissioning, and effective information dissemination all aligned with the project plan. The project benefited industrial partners and potential customers by providing new, functional technology ready for application. The expressed interest from industrial partners, evidenced by signed agreements and participation in the final project conference, confirmed the product''s functionality and market readiness.
