Waste heat to power

Convert a suitable waste-heat stream to electricity when direct heat use is not practicable.

01

What the measure changes

Convert a suitable waste-heat stream to electricity when direct heat use is not practicable.

02

Evidence required

Source temperature, mass flow, composition, variability, annual availability, cooling conditions, parasitic load and electrical connection.

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

Constraints and risks

Output depends on source quality and continuity. Compare direct heat recovery before power generation.

04

Possible applications

Sector membership does not establish feasibility. Confirm the actual process duty.
