Green Machine to Turn Waste Heat to Electricity
An American invention that turns waste heat into electricity by operating like a "super-kettle", has been licensed by a Scottish energy company, which aims to turn over £40 million within the next three years by manufacturing the devices for the European market. Thistle Energy – a spin-out company from family-owned Thistle Generators in Bothwell, Lanarkshire – will initially sell Electra Therm's "green machine" in the UK but also has plans to assemble it in Scotland before the end of the year.
The green machine is designed to work on industrial machinery that runs round the clock, such as generators or incinerators that give off waste heat.The device operates in a similar way to a kettle on a stove. Waste heat from industrial machinery boils a fluid inside the device, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity.That could then be fed into the National Grid and sold at a profit or, in the offshore market, could be used to power operations such as accommodation barges.
