THERMAL EFFICIENCY
RETHINK PROCESSES
There are various methods for transferring heat from thermal processes, including adiabatic coolers, hybrid coolers, dry coolers and cooling towers.
​
In general there are two main ways to manage the heat:
Cost Effective

Minimal
Space Requirements
Reduce Energy Consumption
Add PHE for intermediate loop to reduce load
Increase Overall Efficiency
Increase Capacity
Reduce Energy Consumption
Reduce Water

HEAT REJECTION
HEAT RECOVERY
Industrial thermal processes produce tons of heat, which is usually released into the atmosphere via a heat exchanger.
For facilities seeking to use less energy, free cooling solutions that use naturally cool air or water, instead of mechanical refrigeration, are increasingly attractive options.
There are several methods for optimizing the free cooling potential to see positive effects on your power and water consumption.​
Another way to improve the energy footprint is to
use the waste heat.
This means that the waste heat can be reused to heat a building or fed into a district heating network.
Thermal heat can be used directly or indirectly or to generate electrical or mechanical energy.
With the right solutions, operators can benefit from a system that increases the overall efficiency and keeps energy and water consumption as low as possible.
HEAT RECOVERY
DISTRICT HEATING
In general, the waste heat can be used directly and indirectly.
Industrial facilities or data centers can use heat pumps to increase the temperature of waste heat, making the thermal energy much more valuable. This solution is becoming increasingly attractive as the rapid development of heat pumps is making the technology more and more efficient. Waste heat could be fed into the district grid to heat residential properties or for heating data center office buildings during colder months, (depending on the location).
AGRICULTURE & AQUACULTURES
Agriculture or Fish Farms can also easily benefit from waste heat of a data center or an industrial facility in order to have a positive impact on the overall efficiency of the system.
To achieve this, a fan coil unit is installed in the greenhouse using a liquid as a heat transfer medium. The air flows past the coil which cools down the fluid and heats the incoming air to keep the air in the greenhouse at a steady temperature.
For Aquacultures, a gasketed plate heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between the water in the tank and the liquid coming from the heat source.
