Process heat is one of the most cost-intensive forms of energy in industrial applications. Despite its operational importance, its creation is associated with significant losses. This inefficiency often goes undetected for a long time in many companies.
Economically and technically optimized operation of process heat systems begins with the consistent reduction of energy losses. One of the most effective levers for improvement is reducing exhaust gas losses and adjusting the steam pressure, as excessively high evaporation pressure unnecessarily raises exhaust gas temperatures.
To make process heat more efficient at the site, our expert Mandy Preuß has compiled a concise overview with tips for efficiency measures in one of the checklists.
“Utilizing waste heat from exhaust gases and adjusting steam pressure to meet demand are the key factors in optimizing process heating systems”
