Organic Rankine Cycle: The Evolution of Water
August 21st, 2011 | by Guest Contributor
Industry can’t exist without water. Producing anything involves heat. When you’re a manufacturing facility, you’re lucky to be pushing out exhaust heat at less than 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It costs water to make steel, water to make cement, even water to make solar PV panels and wind turbines. And then it costs water to continue to run things. For example, your average solar parabolic plant sucks up between 760 and 920 gallons for every megawatt hour produced. (Editor's Note: wind and solar PV use a ton less than other power generation options, though.)

Waste Heat From Data Center to Warm a Conservatory
December 17th, 2009 | by Susan Kraemer
Just as data farms need to have that warmth removed, day in/day out, greenhouses, by contrast, need a supply of consistent warmth, summer and winter. Put the two together and you have a marriage made in heaven. For example; between the Ella Morris and Muessel-Ellison Botanical Conservatories and Potawatomi Greenhouse and Indiana's University of Notre Dame
