The KARNO generator is designed to use heat to produce electricity, making it an ideal solution for industrial processes that generate significant amounts of high-grade waste heat. Industries such as primary metals manufacturing (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper), glass manufacturing, and coke ovens produce substantial waste heat that can be converted into electricity using KARNO technology. Its modular architecture and capability to handle variations in flow rate make the KARNO generator an effective tool for recovering energy that would otherwise be wasted.
