Industries Using Waste Heat Recovery Systems To Reduce Operating Costs
Waste heat is generated from the exhausts of fume incinerators, combustion engines, glass melting furnaces, and cooling water from furnaces and convective, conductive, and radiation heat losses from combustion engines and cement kilns. Waste heat is also generated from process off-gases. Heat losses in several industrial processes can be curtailed by using waste heat recovery systems. Such systems involve the capturing and reuse of waste heat for combustion air preheating, steam generation, load preheating, power generation, space heating, and waster preheating. According to P&S Intelligence, the waste heat recovery market will generate a revenue of $70.5 billion by 2022. Owing to the high prices of conventional energy sources such as oil, gas, and coal, such industries are focusing on the recovery of waste heat, as it will allow them to reduce their operating costs. These end-use industries use waste recovery methods, such as waste heat wellsprings and waste recovery hardwar...
