Heat Recovery System for Compressors

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS

In the drive for sustainability, many industries are looking for ways to get the most out of their energy use and minimise their environmental impact. One promising solution is using heat recovery systems for industrial compressors. These systems capture the excess heat generated during compression and redirect it to power various heating needs within the facility.

ELGi offers its Heat Recovery System as an additional gadget with its EG Series compressor. Customers in the Middle East can buy and easily plug the Heat Recovery unit into the air compressors and redirect the heat generated from their compressors to warm water and air for use in showers and boilers.

BENEFITS OF HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM FOR COMPRESSORS?

When air is compressed, heat is generated. For most applications, this heat is extracted as the compressed air needs to be cooled before application. This heat would usually be a waste; however, it is possible to recover this heat and reuse it with the help of heat recovery systems for compressors.

Energy Savings – Since as much as 100% of the energy used by an air compressor is converted into heat, the heat recovery systems for compressors provide an excellent opportunity to reduce energy costs.

Lower Carbon Footprint – Reusing energy, especially to heat water or rooms, reduces energy costs and removes the additional need for fuel to heat the water or air. Thus, it reduces CO2 emissions and, in turn, lowers the plant’s carbon footprint.

APPLICATION OF COMPRESSED AIR HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS

Energy recovery in compressor systems is useful and air compressor heat recovery systems unlock significant energy savings by capturing the heat generated during compression and utilising it for various applications. Here are some ways recovered heat from compressed air systems can be effectively used.

Space Heating

Recovered heat from compressed air heating systems can be utilised for space heating in industrial facilities, warehouses, offices, and commercial buildings. By redirecting the recovered heat to heating systems, businesses can reduce their reliance on conventional heating methods, resulting in significant energy savings.

Water Heating

Heat recovery units can transfer heat generated from air compression to heat water, providing a cost-effective solution for water heating requirements. This application is particularly beneficial in facilities where hot water is used for cleaning, sanitation, or other processes. By utilising recovered heat, businesses can lower their water heating expenses and reduce overall energy consumption.

Process Heating

Industries with specific process heating requirements can benefit from heat recovery systems. Recovered heat can be integrated into various industrial processes, such as drying, curing, and sterilisation, reducing the need for additional energy sources and enhancing process efficiency. This application is prevalent in manufacturing, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.
