Match a heat source to a useful sink

A recoverable heat source does not establish a useful project. Source and sink must be available at compatible times and temperatures.

Start with the evidenceOpen assessment tools
01

Characterise the source

Record composition, flow, inlet and outlet temperatures, variability, fouling, pressure, allowable back-pressure and annual availability.

02

Characterise the sink

Record the required duty, temperature, flow, schedule, product or hygiene limits and backup requirement.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Design the integration boundary

Check heat-exchanger approach temperatures, control, bypass, pressure drop, cleaning, corrosion, shutdown and failure response.

04

Plan verification

Define meters, baseline adjustment, useful heat delivered, parasitic energy and the operating conditions used to accept performance.

S

Technical sources

No recovery rate or annual saving is assigned without source and sink measurements.
