Pratt & Whitney Power Systems is breaking into the Asian market with the sale of two modular PURECYCLE Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) units near Taipei, Taiwan, with the capacity to generate up to 500kW of geothermal power. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp.
The Taiwan Yilang Chingshui Geothermal Project, located in Yilang County near Taipei, Taiwan, is expected to be operational by the end of the year. In this installation, existing low temperature geothermal resources of about 130˚C will be used to fuel two PureCycle systems and generate 500 kW of net power.
The project is managed by Global Power Source Co, and Yankee Power & Energy Saving Technology Company. The PureCycle power systems will allow the Taiwan Yilang Chingshui Geothermal Project to produce electrical power for the first time in 25 years.
?Taiwan has demonstrated a strong commitment to developing its geothermal resources to help meet the region?s energy needs,? said Chuck Levey, Pratt & Whitney Power Systems Vice President of Sales and Marketing. ?Pratt & Whitney Power Systems? PureCycle Organic Rankine Cycle units will create a new source of clean, renewable power for the area.?
