The main product of the electric energy consumed by the screw air compressor is heat, and the by-product is compressed air. For these wasted heat, we can recover them through the heat recovery technology of the screw air compressor. Screw air compressor heat recovery is also called screw air compressor waste heat recovery. So, what are the uses of screw air compressor waste heat recovery?
The waste heat recovery of the screw air compressor can produce hot water for bathing, etc. For example, in industries with relatively poor working environments such as foundry, metallurgy and mineral mining, the recovered air compressor waste heat can heat tap water to 50°C~60°C , for workers to use for bathing. If factories and mines independently configure boilers for heating, they can preheat the boilers in advance or use them alone.
Secondly, the waste heat of the screw air compressor can be used to produce heat by reverse osmosis purified water. In the production process of food and beverage, semiconductor and pharmaceutical chemical industries, a large amount of reverse osmosis purified water is often used. Pure water needs to be produced at a specific temperature of 25 °C. When the water temperature is lower than 25 °C in spring, autumn and winter, equipment needs to be invested and fuel is consumed to heat the water. Recycling the waste heat of the screw air compressor to produce pure water can not only reduce fuel consumption, but also reduce the input cost of heating equipment.
The waste heat of the screw air compressor can also be used for heating. In the Yangtze River Basin and northern regions, heating is required in winter, and this local heat is often provided by boiler heating. Recovering the waste heat of the screw air compressor for heating not only saves energy consumption, but also reduces the installed capacity of the boiler and further reduces the investment in equipment.
All in all, the waste heat recovery of the screw air compressor can not only cool down the screw air compressor, prolong the life of the screw air compressor, but also save a lot of money for the enterprise every year. This green, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and emission-reducing approach is in line with national conditions and the needs of enterprise development.
