Gas expansion engines

Recovering valuable energy from excess pressure instead of letting it fizzle out literally is the field of application for gas expansion. What is to be considered, how technology is evolving in times of digitization and Industry 4.0 and what enormous savings potential is lurking here is to be examined in this section.

In times of climate change, politics, business and society are sensitized to all aspects of efficient energy use.
