Maximise Your Efficiency & Sustainability Whilst Reducing Energy Consumption

• What is heat recovery?
• What applications can the repurposed heat be used for around your facility?
• Contact Aircare to find out how heat recovery can help you meet your environmental targets & save money!

Heat is a natural by-product of the air compression process, but did you know that a large percentage, sometimes as high as 94%, of this heat can actually be recovered and used rather than wasted?

You can drastically reduce your costs and energy consumption by recovering and utilising the excess heat from your compressed air system! With ever-rising energy prices, environmental concerns and targets heat recovery is a critical consideration and is an easy way to save money and reduce your carbon footprint.

The repurposed heat can be used for various applications around your facility, including ambient air heating, heating water and any industrial processes where heat or pre-heated water is required. This versatility will allow you to reduce your energy costs and consumption in a way that suits your operations!

Heating: Heat recovery systems are perfect for augmenting your facility’s heating system. By using the heat energy generated from your compressor(s), that would otherwise go to waste, you can redirect the heat to keep your premises warm. Thus, reducing your heating bill and cutting back your company’s carbon emissions.

Hot air heating: Heated cooling-air from your compressor(s) can be utilized to increase the ambient temperature of rooms instead of being dispensed into the atmosphere. By ducting the air to somewhere more useful, you can increase the ambient temperatures of those rooms, reducing heating costs in your facility.

Hot water requirements: Heat recovery systems can provide up to 72% of the energy required to hear your hot water system. By utilizing the heat energy generated from your compressor that would otherwise go to waste, you can have hot running water and cut back on your company’s carbon emissions and energy bills.

Process applications: Heat recovery systems can be used to pre-heat the water supplying your process application requirements such as steam generation. Anywhere hot water is required, supplying pre-heated water makes the process more cost efficient.
