| dc.description.abstract | High quality energy exhaust streams from U. S. industrial plants are estimated to have an energy equivalent of 2 to 3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, or about 15% of total industrial energy consumption. The value of energy contained in these high-quality waste heat streams, at today's oil prices, is approximately 12 billion dollars per year. Heat recovery is perhaps one of the largest energy conservation opportunities available to U. S. industries today. The author reviews basic heat recovery design considerations as well as a summary of typical "waste heat" sources and application sites. A procedure for conducting industrial waste heat surveys is presented. Thermodynamic and heat transfer factors are discussed. Problems associated with matching sources to application sites are considered and trade-offs between mode of operation, pressure drop, maintenance, efficiency, and life-cycle costs are reviewed. | en |
