Abstract

During various industrial processes, as much as 20 to 50% of the energy consumed is ultimately lost via waste heat contained in streams of hot exhaust gases, exhaust steam and hot liquids, as well as through heat transfer from hot equipment surfaces. Captured and reused waste heat is a valuable approach to improve overall energy efficiency by optimizing for costly purchased fuels or electricity and for the protection of global environment from pollution and rate of global warming. The applications of waste heat energy include generating electricity, preheating combustion air, space heating, refrigeration, etc. This review paper studies how refrigeration can be achieved quantitatively as well as qualitatively in different domains by using various waste heat recovery technologies from key industrial waste heat sources. This paper also studies the huge annual energy savings and environmental benefits that can be resulted by using these waste heat recovery technologies for refrigeration.
