Free Heat from Compressed Air
Air compressors generate a large amount of heat during operation. In traditional systems, this heat is typically released into the environment and wasted.
The Air Compressor Waste Heat Recovery System captures this thermal energy and converts it into usable heat for domestic hot water or heating water applications. The system does not affect the normal operation of the air compressor.
The heat recovery rate can reach over 85%, enabling the conversion of waste energy into a valuable and continuous heat source.
Clear Performance Parameters
For oil-injected screw compressors, the heat recovery efficiency is over 60%.
Key technical parameters include:
- Air channel resistance: < 2 kPa
- Air inlet temperature: 100°C
- Air flow rate: 20,000 m³/h
- Working pressure: 0.65 MPa
The system integrates four main sections:
- Heat exchange unit
- Circulation system
- Heat utilization terminal
- Monitoring system
The Air Compressor Waste Heat Recovery System provides a complete and integrated energy recovery solution.
Key Advantages and Zero Operating Cost
The primary advantage of this system is extremely low operating cost. Since the heat source is waste heat generated by the compressor itself, no additional fuel or energy consumption is required for heat generation.
After the initial investment, the system continuously produces hot water at virtually zero operating cost.
In addition, the system improves compressor operating conditions by reducing thermal load, which helps lower failure rates and extend equipment service life.
We have been developing waste heat recovery systems since 1996 and have extensive project experience in industrial energy recovery applications.
The heat exchanger adopts a single-oil recovery design. Standard configurations range from 13 kW to 110 kW, allowing flexible selection based on compressor power.
The Air Compressor Waste Heat Recovery System offers a fast return on investment and strong long-term economic benefits.
