Reclaiming Operating Temperature – What You Need To Understand

It was known widely those systems of Reclaiming operating temperature takes 10% of all the electricity and sixteen percent of US energy use by the industrial motor system. 70% of all production equipment in the US makes use of compressed air in driving several equipment processes.

There are several ways by which compressed air users lower their energy costs through audit of the air and eliminating wasteful process of consuming, which result to 10 to 15% system energy reduction with simple paybacks.

Original equipment manufacture operators should also examine a reduced system pressure that could be used. Making use of control can effectively stage the existing air compressors to cyclical demand. High storage can also lower the unnecessary high demand cycling of the compressors.

 This project is directed to quantifying and identifying the potential for heat reclaim from air compressors. Both cooled air and water are used to provide cost effective savings in manufacturing plant by use of a well designed and sized heat reclamation system.

Calculating reclaimable BTU’s

It is possible to lower your plants total carbon foot print consumption of energy and lower the decreasing cost by Compact modular design and reclaiming the excess heat produced by the air compressors.

The electric motor puts more energy into the compressed stream of air by the process of compression. Motor power is typically rated using horse power .One horsepower is equal to 2,545 BTU per hour. Although most of the air compressors are sold using the nominal horsepower sizes, they can function at loads of 10 percent above the name plate of the motor rating to get rated compressor discharge pressure and the full capacity output.

The horsepower at the shaft of the compressor also called brake horsepower (bhp), can be ten percent above the nameplate of the motor horsepower and consume 1.15 service factor of the motor safely.
