Industrial heat recovery
Waste heat is stored money: with the right heat exchanger, exhaust air, flue gas or warm process water becomes usable energy.
In many plants, valuable energy leaves the building unused: via exhaust air, flue gases or warm waste water. With the right heat exchanger this waste heat can be recovered - to preheat fresh air, service or process water.
From single unit to complete system
Depending on the task, a single heat exchanger is sufficient - or a complete heat recovery system with ducts, casings and controls is created. AWS-Technik supplies both from a single source, including sizing based on your operating data and, on request, an on-site appointment to capture the boundary conditions.
Typical processes
- Heat recovery from exhaust air streams, e.g. from drying processes
- Heat recovery from flue gases (gas-to-gas plate heat exchangers with adapted casing)
- Use of warm waste and process water via shell and tube heat exchangers
- Complete heat recovery systems including profitability forecast
Frequently asked questions
Is heat recovery worthwhile for smaller plants too?
Often yes. For heat recovery systems our quotation includes a profitability and payback forecast - so the decision can be made on the basis of numbers.
Which heat exchangers suit dust-laden exhaust air?
For contaminated air streams we recommend our plain tube heat exchangers: few deposit points, and every tube can be cleaned from outside with a steam lance.
