Heat Generation, Recovery and Use

Also indexed as: Thermal Energy : Waste Heat Recovery

Energy savings can be made throughout the Heat Generation and Use chain:

• Generation: One of the key objectives of SETatWork is to provide information on how CO₂ emissions can be reduced by introducing energy efficient and sustainable energy technologies.
• High Temperature Technologies: High temperature is here referred to as above 300 deg C. There is a steady stream of new burner, insulation and control technologies being introduced into the market place. These reduce waste gas emissions, shorten heating times save energy and improve industrial competitiveness.
• Recovery and Storage: All high temperature processes generate some waste heat. Sometimes it is cost effective to utilise this heat either at the point of generation for example in recuperative type burners or remotely to heat other parts of an industrial site. In some instances there is no immediate use for waste heat and it can be stored. Heat storage, however, is not practised much in industry and it has its main use for space heating applications where electricity is the main energy source.
• Distribution: Heat energy is distributed in many forms: as compressed air and liquids, steam, hot water, hot gases, and hot oils. Distribution losses can be reduced through insulation, leak detection and repair, and overall improved maintenance.
