Reducing energy costs and Government Mandates and Incentives provide financial motivation to capture waste heat destined to be discharged to the atmosphere. Most High Volume / High Temperature heat recovery opportunities have been captured in the form of Recuperators or Regenerators we can assist with the low and medium temperature opportunities. There are a variety of sophisticated engineered systems designed and packaged to target heat recovery that are appropriate for specific processes. We look for untapped flue gas, hot exhaust gases from processes and waste hot water from once through cooling or to cooling towers as an opportunity for heat recovery. These applications are also typically less complex to install and maintain and provide a fast payback.
The nature of the process typical dictates the benefactor of the waste heat however three essential components are required for waste heat recovery:
- An accessible source of waste heat
- A use for the recovered energy
- A recovery technology.
