Principle of Air Compressor Waste Heat Recovery

Principle of Air Compressor Waste Heat Recovery

Air compressor waste heat recovery relies on absorbing waste heat from the air compressor to heat up the cold water without energy consumption.

Waste heat recovery of air compressor is to recover and utilise the heat generated by centrifugal, oil-free and screw air compressors, mainly to recover the heat generated by the air compressor from the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. The recovery method is based on oil recovery, supplemented by gas recovery.

Air compressor is widely used, in its long-term continuous operation, according to the principle of conservation of energy, the electrical energy is converted into mechanical heat energy, which generates a large amount of heat energy in the work, and finally wastes the heat energy to the environment in the form of air-cooled or water-cooled. Not only the operating cost is high, but also the environment is seriously polluted by high temperature.

Recycling heat energy for enterprise domestic hot water, industrial hot water, air-conditioning hot water, cleaning pool heating, winter heating, etc., for the enterprise to reduce a lot of hot water costs, and may become one of the sources of corporate profits.

In addition, the recovery of heat from the air compressor can reduce the working temperature of the air compressor, reduce the failure of the machine, prolong the service life of the equipment and reduce the cost of maintenance.

Air compressor waste heat recovery device working principle:

The high-temperature oil of the air compressor passes through the heat exchanger to transfer the heat to the cooling water, which is heated and flows into the insulated water storage drum, so that the purpose of heat recovery can be achieved.
