The rankine cycle utilises a working fluid
which goes through a phase change to
recoup either mechanical or electrical
energy from exhaust heat that would
normally be lost to atmosphere.
With the IMI Precision Engineering control valve designs,
the vapour conditions can be controlled and optimised
to such an extent that energy can be recovered
from previously inaccessible areas of a truck drive
cycle. Crucially, our control valves also improve the
performance of other rankine system components.
