What is the SAM ORC project? Saw it mentioned, but no explanation about it.
The SAM ORC system is in the project phase. Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems use the waste heat of industrial processes (through a downstream steam power process) to generate electricity and thus use the waste heat generated by the mining process to recover energy. The SAM ORC system exploits the fact that at high altitudes water has a lower boiling point, which leads to a much better efficiency in the recovery of energy from the waste heat of the miners. This allows SAE to reduce power consumption from the grid by up to 50% compared to conventional mining systems at lower elevations.
Ah cool, like the concept and that you are going to implement it on your project, saving all around
This is actually similar to KERS in Formula 1, harvesting kinetic energy to recharge the battery now I have some kind of idea about it Cool, your comparison with KERS system that is used in F1 may explain a little bit how this system works
Hehehe, glad I was able to chip in a bit and shed some light.Convoluted sentences are harder too understand then typing KERS F1 into youtube and watching a video
This is a good analogy, sometimes some things need to be explained in a somewhat understandable way to the wider spectrum of people
