The efficient use of energy is an increasingly important part of companies. Not only for ecological reasons - the economic benefit is becoming relevant, especially due to numerous fundings at a national and international level.
The waste heat cascade is a helpful tool to identify the generation of excess waste heat in a company and to define the best possible use for the company based on the available resources.
Probably the most efficient way of using waste heat in a company is not to generate it in the first place. For this purpose, constructive measures are suitable. Effective insulation can also play its part in avoiding waste heat.
Depending on the process structures in an industrial company, waste heat generated at process point A can be used via a heat exchanger at process point B - for example by preheating the air when it is fed into a combustion chamber.
Waste heat which is generated in a process structure of a company can of course also be used elsewhere in the company. For example, the waste heat of an electric generator for compressed air could be converted into cold with the help of an absorption refrigeration system and used elsewhere in the company.
The waste heat generated in companies can also be used for electricity generation in addition to its process-internal and internal use. Refrigerants are evaporated with the aid of plate heat exchangers, which enter a generator via a control system and drive it. The electricity generated in this way can in turn be used internally or fed into the power grid.
Buffer storage can be used to store the waste heat generated in companies. By accessing these stores from external service providers, the energy can be used for other purposes - for example, in the form of district heating in nearby towns.
The use of waste heat generated in companies is extremely versatile. It can be used by companies in internal applications or across processes. Power generation or distribution to external service providers are also suitable ways of using the waste heat.
The technologies for using waste heat are well known and have already proven themselves in the past. Statistically speaking, companies in Germany alone could save up to 5,000,000,000 euros annually with the help of these technologies.
IGEFA WEINBRENNER energy solutions combines tradition and innovation in the design and manufacture of individual heat exchangers. Our engineering is interdisciplinary, so that as a team we include the view of process-spanning environmental variables in the design of your heat exchanger.
The extensive know-how from many different branches of industry provides us with versatile insights into different applications of our technologies and thus enables us to increase the efficiency of each heat exchanger manufactured.
You also benefit from a broad network of experts with whom we cooperate in various research projects for major German and international institutes and who are already developing tomorrow's technologies today.
The saving of CO2 and the effective use of waste heat generated in companies is not just a market that another company would like to develop. Firmly anchored in the most fundamental statutes of our group of companies, we pursue the goal of minimizing the ecological footprint of our and the companies cooperating with us.
In relation to your heat exchanger, this means that you will always receive a more efficient heat exchanger than you previously owned. It adapts to the environmental variables in your process structure and will never be larger - since performance data have changed since then.
Use innovative technologies and trust the experience of one of the most traditional companies in our industry.
