Measure the rejected energy stream before choosing a heat exchanger, heat pump or power-recovery system.
List exhaust gases, hot liquids, cooling systems, condensate, product cooling and other streams leaving the selected process boundary.
Record flow, temperature, composition, variability, hours, contamination, pressure and the minimum permitted discharge condition.
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.
Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
Check whether the heat can be used directly at a suitable temperature and time. Then assess heat upgrading, storage or power generation if direct use is not practicable.
Include fouling, corrosion, pressure loss, shutdowns, maintenance, product risk, parasitic energy and rejected heat that cannot be recovered.
The presence of a hot stream does not establish technical or financial feasibility.
