Application Cases of Heat Recovery Systems in Different Sectors

Application Cases of Heat Recovery Systems in Different Sectors

Industry:

In steel mills, the steelmaking process generates a large amount of high-temperature exhaust gases. Through the heat recovery system, the heat energy in these exhaust gases is used to preheat the air entering the furnace or to generate steam for power generation, thus improving the efficiency of energy utilisation and reducing production costs.

A large steel company has installed a state-of-the-art heat recovery unit, which has resulted in significant annual savings in energy costs and reduced dependence on external energy sources.

Commercial buildings:

Large shopping centres are often equipped with central air-conditioning systems. Heat recovery systems can recover energy from the waste heat emitted by the air conditioners and use it to heat domestic water or to heat the building in winter.

A commercial complex uses a heat recovery system to provide energy for its hot water supply and heating in some areas, significantly reducing energy consumption and operating costs.

Data Centres:

A large amount of heat is generated by the operation of servers in a data centre. A heat recovery system can capture this heat and use it to heat surrounding office areas or to support other facilities that require heat.

One well-known data centre has achieved efficient use of energy through heat recovery technology, which not only effectively solves the server cooling problem, but also provides part of the heating for the adjacent office building.

Food processing industry:

A large amount of waste heat is generated in the processing of foodstuffs such as steaming and drying. Heat recovery systems can use this waste heat to preheat raw materials or other heating needs in the production process.

A food processing plant uses heat recovery technology to reduce energy consumption in the production process by about 20%, improving production efficiency.

Hospitals:

Hospitals generate waste heat from the operation of air conditioning systems and medical equipment. The heat recovery system can use this waste heat for hot water supply, ward heating, etc.

The heat recovery system in a large hospital has resulted in considerable annual savings in energy costs, while at the same time providing a more comfortable environment for patients.
