RECOVERING ENERGY FROM
OUR PROCESSES
Evinrude recovers energy from outboard engine testing to meet the heating needs of its engine endurance test center.
Evinrude built an indoor engine endurance test center which contains 600,000 gallons (2.3 million liters) of water. Up to eight outboard engines can be operated at full throttle 24/hrs per day. An energy recovery heating system was installed to capture energy from outboard engines heating the building in winter months. 100% of the needs of the space are heated specifically through the energy recovery mode.
