An important element in one of the components of this waste heat recovery system was Isobar® heat pipes. The waste heat energy would be captured by the heat pipe and transferred to the thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert it to electricity. This could then be used in-store to meet lighting, point-of-sale terminals and hot water and heating needs.

To make the process more efficient, the customer requested that we design and implement Isobar heat pipes to absorb the heat energy and effectively transfer it over the tool surface.
