Organic Rankine Cycle turbine

Low-temperature heat can be captured and converted into electricity through the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system. Againity takes advantage of low-temperature heat down to 90 degrees and can perform with systems in the range of 50-2500 kW energy production. The modularity of the Againity solution means they can be combined and scaled. Automation steers the system but can also be remotely controlled. The intended market is for heat sources from water boilers, treatment plants, or industrial processes.
