Utilization of compressor waste heat
Thread Content
How is the waste heat from compressors generally utilized? There are currently two compressors, one with N=250kW and the other with N=90kW.
It depends on the actual situation on site; the residual heat from the compressor is not significant and of low intensity. If it isn’t a harmful substance, hot water or warm air can be tried
These two sources of waste heat are not substantial either; if there were too much, heating could be provided in winter.
We generally use it to extract methanol in cryogenic dehydration
For compressor energy-saving solutions, there is: 1. Shut it down when not in use. 2. Drive: if a steam turbine is used, adjust the speed and water consumption as appropriate based on the process conditions ； If a motor is used, an efficient and energy-saving motor should be chosen.
I completely agree with the views of the people from the Central Plains! If all the waste heat from the air compressor were used to heat the water pipes, how high would the temperature become? Would it still be usable? There would already be risks of failures!
Personally, I think Yu Re’s taste is not very good. Do you use an air-cooled model or a water-cooled model? If it’s air-cooled, it can be used for indoor heating in winter; whereas with water cooling, the heat load is very low, so it seems pointless.
