Publisher's Synopsis
This text helps energy professionals evaluate their existing industrial processes and identify opportunities to profitably recover waste heat. Based on years of research, the detailed heat and material balances which are presented were developed from process flow diagrams of 108 industrial processes, with technical input from consultants and manufacturers, and extensive on-site verification studies. Data such as process temperature, pressure, fuel requirements, thermal efficiency and radiation, and convection losses have been determined for varying industrial operations spanning the food products, textile, lumber, wood, paper, chemical, petroleum, rubber and plastics, glass, metals, machinery, transportation equipment and instrument manufacturing industries.
