Overview of Heat Recovery
Heat recovery refers to collecting waste heat generated in industry, buildings or equipment operation and converting it into usable energy (such as heat or electricity) to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, achieving energy saving and environmental protection goals.
Importance
- Reduce energy costs: fully utilize heat that would otherwise be wasted.
- Lower carbon emissions: help enterprises achieve environmental compliance and ESG goals.
- Improve system efficiency: optimize thermal management and enhance overall equipment performance.
Implementation Methods
Common methods include:
- Heat exchangers: transfer heat between different media to improve recovery efficiency.
- Heat pump systems: upgrade low-grade heat to high-grade heat for heating or process use.
- Waste heat power generation: use Rankine or Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to convert heat into electricity.
Overview of Application Fields
Heat recovery is widely used in industrial production, building equipment, transportation and HVAC systems. See the “Applications” page for specific cases.
