Waste Heat Recovery
AI Overview
The Navy seeks an innovative waste heat recovery system to capture thermal energy from LM 2500 engine exhaust and convert it to electrical power, reducing fuel consumption and emissions while operating within strict DDG 51 Class constraints on space, weight, and radar signature.
This summary is AI-generated from the official solicitation.
Key Details
Official Description
LM 2500 gas turbine engines’ maximum thermal efficiency is approximately 38%. This means at least 62% of the energy in every drop of fuel consumed by the process of propelling a DDG 51 Class ship is unused and available for harvesting as it is being expelled in the form of heat via engine exhaust. Significant energy that is currently “wasted” could be recovered from exhaust to save on fuel costs and increase the range of surface combatants. To effectively utilize all resources, the Navy seeks to...
