From Waste Heat to Essential Electricity
In every water delivery system throughout the United States, pressure-reducing values (PRVs) continually lower the high pressure of water so that it is suitable for customer use. NEXUS scientist Dr. Mehdi Etezadi-Amoli, a professor of electrical and biomedical engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is investigating the potential for this process to also generate electrical power, using waste energy from the reduction process.
