Heat Management’s Post

We made some modifications on a hotwell for one of the companies participating in our Sustainable Cost Reduction programme. These involved how condensate is returned, how make-up water is introduced, appropriate sizing of the hotwell to suit steam system capacity, level control and ensuring sufficient available net positive suction head. The results were pleasing in terms of boiler fuel savings, and to a lesser extent water savings resulting from flash steam recovery. We'll be taking a similar approach with a site on our Virtual Energy Manager Programme, with this project due to start next week. The solution we use is not as effective as a vent condenser, which we have implemented for customers in the past, but comes at a much lower capital cost, leading to a better payback. Vent condensers have become expensive over the last few years. There is a place for them though. Going forward, we will be implementing solutions such as these through a new technology company we are setting up. I'll tell you more about this once the business has been formalised. In the meantime, if you have technology that can deliver savings in energy, water, material usage or waste handling and are looking for a channel partner with deep industrial experience and wide exposure, talk to us. #sustainablecostreduction #virtualenergymanager

Improve Boiler Efficiency by Increasing Condensate Recovery Rate Using MEASUR TOOL Recovery of maximum amount of energy and material is an specific target in industries, we have developed a simple model using MEASURE TOOL to calculate what are the savings we can acchieve by increasing condensate recovery rate in a boiler system. The condensate recovery rate of a boiler is the percentage of condensate returned to the boiler from the steam system after it has transferred heat and undergone phase change. Improving boiler efficiency by increasing condensate is a must and should be encouraged to achieve commercial targets of industries. Let's see how we did that from following link. https://lnkd.in/g74fcyxR #energy #boilerefficiency #improveboilerefficiency #energyrecovery #steamsystems #energymanagement #boileroperations #boiler #energyefficiency #MEASUR #boilermodelling

This is really interesting, you may know about the efficiency and popularity of heat pumps for residential use, but the industrial market is poised for significant growth for the same reasons and for much larger and broader applications across multiple sectors, including district heating & cooling. Great read!

Congratulations to Kohler Co. on its impressive efforts toward decarbonization! The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) has awarded the Kohler Co. Vikrell Electric Boiler & Microgrid System project with more than $588,000 (of the total project federal cost share of up to $51.2 million) to begin Phase 1 activities to demonstrate commercial- scale decarbonization solutions to help move energy-intensive industries toward net-zero. Selected as one of 33 projects in the U.S., the funding will be matched by Kohler investment to support the Electric Boiler & Microgrid project at its manufacturing site in Casa Grande, Arizona. The project plans to install electric boilers and a microgrid consisting of a 21 MW solar array and a 20.5 MW battery energy storage system to lower carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by an estimated 7,865 metric tons per year, reducing at least 75% and up to 90% of the pressing process CO₂ emissions from natural gas boilers on site.

🔥 Project Alert: CHP System Installation Success! 💡🌿 We're thrilled to share a recent project that not only met but exceeded expectations! Delivered on time and within budget, this success has opened doors to future collaborations with our new client. #ProjectSuccess #ClientSatisfaction 📚 CHP 101: Combined Heat and Power systems are efficiency powerhouses! They generate electricity and usable heat from a single fuel source, capturing energy that would typically go to waste. The result? Reduced costs and lower carbon emissions - a win-win for industries, large buildings, and district heating! #CHPSystems #EnergyEfficiency 🛠️ Pro Tip: When installing CHP flue systems, don't skimp on the details! Add extra Dow Corning 781 to joint seals for better sealing and movement allowance Use anti-vibration brackets to prevent pressure-induced seal disjointing Remember, quick turnarounds are crucial - every day of downtime can mean significant energy savings lost! #InstallationTips #FlueSystem 🤝 Shoutout to our partners @poujoulatuk for their top-notch CHP flue system and the invaluable training from their MD. Knowledge is power, especially in our field! #ContinuousLearning #IndustryPartnership Stay tuned for more exciting projects and insights from the world of energy efficiency! #EnergyInnovation #SustainableSolutions

About heat pumps market in industrial and district heathing applications. "Early market entry is key for success in this race. However, some technologies, such as high-temperature industrial heat pumps, are still maturing. As demand grows across the industrial sector and district heating, OEMs that manufacture and install these heat pumps will need to develop new offerings." https://lnkd.in/dTVUHSRR
