E25H061A-SH-SS Semi-Hermetic, Stainless Steel, 12 KW Scroll Expander

Developed for over-the-road trucking applications, the 12 kW scroll expander is designed for an Organic Rankin Cycle (ORC) which recovers wasted heat from diesel engine exhaust and converts it into useful energy.

Its Stainless steel construction allows for compatibility with ethanol, the highly corrosive working fluid of the ORC. Patented semi-hermetic design features provide adequate sealing of the flammable fluid, without the need for dynamic seals.

Testing of initial prototypes showed that overall efficiency of the expander is approaching 80% with lubricated operation.
