Waste Heat from District Power Station or Industry
The waste heat from district power station or factory etc. is useful energy to drive the absorption cooling machine. Usage of waste heat can drastically reduce the consumption of electricity required for cooling purposes. This is one of the most appropriate energy saving methods for factories etc.
Characteristics of waste heat from district power station or industry applications:
- Driving energy is provided as waste heat from existing factory manufacturing process heat etc.
- Significant operating cost savings through the use of existing heat sources for air conditioning and/or process cooling
- Low electrical consumption for an absorption cooling machine, thus alleviating strain on electricity grids by replacing conventional demand peaks for cooling purposes
- Increased heat consumption, hence leading to higher mass flow rates in district heating networks during summer; this in turn reduces the temperature drop in the flow pipes and also reduces contamination in the transmission lines
- The piping infrastructure in modern buildings may be used for both cooling or heating distribution
The scheme below shows an example of a waste heat from district power station or industry system configuration.
YAZAKI provides the chiller/heater unit only. If you need more information about other equipment such as cooling towers, valves etc. please contact the manufacturers of this equipment.
