Assess energy and carbon in automotive manufacturing

Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.

Open the assessment toolsDownload the evidence checklist
01

Set the assessment boundary

Separate paint shop, ovens, ventilation, compressed air, machining, assembly and utilities by production line.

02

Collect site evidence

Vehicle production, oven and air-handling schedules, fuel, electricity, compressed-air demand, temperatures, rejects and shutdown periods.

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

Record the decision

Check coating cure, air quality, line balance and production constraints before changing heat, airflow or control settings.

04

Assess exposed hot equipment

Review oven and air-system auxiliaries, boiler-house equipment, steam and hot-water services and compressed-air distribution.

05

Use the technical source

US Department of Energy: Process Heating Systems

This page does not assign a sector benchmark, standard saving, cost or payback. Use current site data, record the calculation method and obtain the required technical and compliance review.
