PROCESS AIR: HEAT RECOVERY CONCEPTS
Sustainability and efficiency are indispensable in industry. There is no question that they currently number among the most important challenges facing system manufacturers and operators. However, due to its very nature, the generation of process air requires a relatively high amount of energy. This article describes the concepts from AERZEN to recover the heat that is released in the process.
As a manufacturer of highperformance compressors, AERZEN has spent many years developing innovative solutions for putting this heat energy to practical use. Consequently, the company offers plant operators an advanced compressed air technology and the systems that are correctly sized for heat recovery from a single source.
The potential savings that could result by installing a heat recovery system are enormous: up to 85% of the heat energy can easily be used for other operations, such as, water heating, drying processes or to preheat burner air. And in addition, energy losses are avoided, such as those caused by venting the heated air outside. As such, heat recovery translates into a targeted and efficient conservation of energy resources
