Capture and use of waste energy from large diesel engine exhaust

Bowman Power Group Ltd, based in Southampton, is the leading international developer of turbo-generation technology for large diesel engines. Their technology uses the 35% of energy lost through the exhaust to generate electrical power which can be fed back to the engine or used to drive auxiliary systems. This significantly increases efficiency and boosts power output. As a very large user of diesel engines this has strong benefits for the on and off road transport sector, given targets for fuel efficiency and emissions. The company are currently working with a number of large, international truck manufacturers.
