ülejäägsoojuse

Ülejäägsoojuse refers to surplus heat, often waste heat, that is generated as a byproduct of an industrial process, energy generation, or other activity. This heat is not intentionally produced but is instead a result of the primary function or process. Instead of being released into the environment and lost, ülejäägsoojuse can be captured and utilized for other purposes, contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability.

The utilization of ülejäägsoojuse is a key component of district heating systems, where heat generated by power plants or industrial facilities is distributed to nearby buildings for space heating and hot water. It can also be used in industrial processes that require heat, such as drying or preheating materials, thereby reducing the need for newly generated heat. Furthermore, ülejäägsoojuse can be employed in absorption chillers to provide cooling or for other specialized applications. Recovering and reusing this heat significantly reduces the overall energy consumption and environmental impact of the original process. The economic benefits arise from reduced fuel costs and potential revenue from selling the captured heat.
