Heat recovery saves energy!
Simply use compression energy again! No problem at all with heat recovery. You can significantly reduce the operating costs of a compressor station and save a lot of money at the same time. This is because a large part of the energy used to generate compressed air is converted into compression heat that can be reused. With heat recovery, up to 94 % of the thermal energy generated can be recovered for further use.
The question should actually be: Why not? After all, every screw compressor converts 100 % of the (electrical) drive energy supplied to it into thermal energy. Up to 96 % of this energy can be recovered, for example for heating purposes or for hot water production. This reduces primary energy consumption and significantly improves the overall energy balance.
By using a heat recovery system, energy that has already been paid for can be put to good use once again. Since a compressor converts 100 percent of the electrical drive energy supplied to it into heat energy, up to 96 percent is available for heat recovery. 2 percent remains as heat in the compressed air and another 2 percent is released as radiant heat. Thus, with a heat recovery system such as a PTG plate heat exchanger, up to 96 percent heat can be recovered.
Modern screw compressors from KAESER in fully enclosed design are particularly well suited for a heat recovery system. In particular, the direct use of waste heat via an air duct system opens up a high potential for saving the energy used.
