Schmid - Model HLT-100 - Hot-air Turbine - Brochure

With the “HLT-100 compact” hot air turbine, electricity can be generated with a wood firing system from a thermal offtake of 300 kW. Due to their complexity and maintenance requirements, other systems – such as ORC systems or steam turbines – only become worthwhile as large-scale systems with a thermal capacity above 2 MW. In many cases, heat offtake all year round cannot be ensured for such high capacities. The hot air turbine therefore fills the gap in the smaller operating range.
