Issues related to hot water utilization
Thread Content
In industrial installations, there is plenty of hot water at 80 degrees. Apart from lithium bromide cooling, are there any other ways to reuse this hot water? Is it possible to improve the quality of this hot water, ideally by generating a small amount of steam as well? Let’s discuss it together.
It is possible to consider adding a heat exchanger to the process, whereby hot water can exchange heat with cooling water or other fluids that need to be heated, thereby achieving energy savings and emission reductions. At the same time, waste heat power generation technology can be utilized to convert hot water into electrical energy, thereby achieving maximum utilization of resources. If a small amount of steam is required, direct steam generation can also be achieved by heating the fuel. In summary, to reuse hot water and improve its quality, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive consideration and technological innovation based on specific circumstances. .
Using hot water to improve quality requires energy; heating water for daily use through heating systems or heat exchangers is a better option
For 80-degree hot water, ORC low-temperature waste heat power generation can be considered; it mainly depends on the amount of heat available and whether it is cost-effective. It isn’t necessary to connect to the grid – the heat can be used directly on-site by the facility. Simply to increase the temperature level of the hot water, heating is required; a heat exchanger can be used for this purpose. As for the amount of steam needed, it depends on the temperature of the steam and the flow rate of the hot water. For any questions, please contact: 15050707009 - Qin
