Prosessilämpöna

Prosessilämpöna refers to heat generated as a byproduct of industrial or manufacturing processes. This waste heat, often at high temperatures, is typically released into the environment. However, increasingly, industries are exploring ways to recover and reuse this process heat for various purposes, improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.

The recovery of prosessilämpöna can involve several technologies, such as heat exchangers, which transfer heat from one medium to another. Recovered heat can then be used for preheating raw materials, heating water for other plant operations, or even generating electricity through systems like organic Rankine cycles. In some cases, the recovered heat can be supplied to district heating networks, providing a sustainable energy source for nearby communities.

The economic and environmental benefits of prosessilämpöna utilization are significant. By reducing the need for primary energy sources to generate heat, companies can lower their fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with broader sustainability goals and can enhance a company's public image. The potential for cost savings through reduced energy bills further incentivizes the implementation of heat recovery systems.
