What is heat recovery and how can it be used? 🤔 Heating in the industrial sector includes the generation of steam, hot water or other fluids for a variety of applications. It is possible to capture waste energy from industrial cooling and heating processes and use it for other demands including space heating, water heating, cleaning and other production processing. In this case, energy is transferred to a heat recovery system through a heat exchanger and then repurposed within the same process or facility. The heat can also be used externally; for example, the excess heat from cooling a data centre could be redirected for use within district heating networks to heat nearby housing developments. Heat recovery aims to avoid heat loss that would otherwise be wasted to the environment. It is important to note that heat can be collected from a source at any temperature, whether it is at +20°C or -20°C. There are various types of heat recovery systems, ranging from basic heat exchanger units to sophisticated heat pumps. The latter uses a refrigerant circuit to boost the waste heat temperature to provide hot water for a variety of applications, including food and beverage production where it is used for product heating, pasteurisation and clean in place (CIP). Heat recovery and heat pump systems work optimally when integrated into the design of a new building and/or process but can also be retrofitted into existing sites to extract the most out of any energy that is already being generated and rejected.

Energy-efficient systems for natural refrigerants are currently an urgent topic in the entire industry. BITZER can boast extensive experience in natural refrigerants with proven technology gained over the years and remains dedicated to advancing its expertise in this direction. At this year’s Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, the specialist for refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technology will set a major focus on presenting its energy-efficient broad portfolio for R290 (propane) and R744 (CO₂). For example, the new ECOLINE 8-cylinder reciprocating compressor series for transcritical CO₂ applications is up to 10 per cent more energy-efficient than conventional 6-cylinder compressors on the market. https://lnkd.in/e5qZqiJk
