Aggreko has announced a strategic partnership with UK based Bowman Power Group, a leading provider of energy efficiency technology for the power generation industry<\/h2>\n

Bowman Power Group\u2019s Electric Turbo Compounding system changes the efficiency engines. Its does so by recovering waste heat energy from the engine exhaust. It then converts it into useful power. The efficiency gains achieve a return on investment in short timescales. All this is despite a global drop in diesel prices<\/p>\n

Aggreko began research with Bowman back in 2014. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of ETC combined with the Cummins KTA50-G3. These are the core engine components in the Aggreko rental fleet. The first trials revealed a 4% additional power output and 5% improved fuel consumption. This was the catalyst for the agreement to explore Bowman\u2019s ETC system.<\/p>\n

The Bowman Power Group<\/a> Electric Turbo Compounding (ETC) technology recovers waste energy from the exhaust of reciprocating gensets and converts it to grid quality electricity. Over 700 ETC systems have been sold to OEMs, independent power producers (IPPs) and power rental companies worldwide. Bowman\u2019s customers have generated over 400GWh of free energy using ETC, saved over $50m in fuel costs, and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 160,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n
