❄️ COLD CHAIN ENERGY WEEK: Energy Monitoring Excellence Webinar. 🧊 Assessing where to target effort and resource to achieve energy efficiency gains can be a daunting task. But effective use of data can be a powerful tool to unlocking big savings. Join us for our upcoming webinar with Liam Challenger and Robert Lamb PhD CEng FInstR from Star Refrigeration to explore how better data management and energy monitoring of refrigeration systems can support energy reduction.

Resolving the Mismatch Between Heat Sources and Heat Sinks in Waste Heat Recovery One of the industrial waste heat recovery methods is to match waste heat sources with suitable heat sinks especially in the same process unit to avoid thermal losses between heat exchangers. However, in many cases, there is a mismatch between the heat source and the heat sink especially in the same process unit. One way to tackle this problem is to allocate space for thermal and other energy storage methods near a combination or cluster of units. The storage system combines the heat from nearby heat sources and allocates heat to nearby sinks as needed. Note that this method has the flexibility of handling both winter and summer heat requirements. If the heat supply of the local storage system exceeds the requirements of the local sinks, the extra heat can be either allocated to a global plant heat storage or converted to longer-term energy sources (depending on the plant configuration) to be used at a later stage. If the heat supply of the local storage falls behind the requirement in the cluster of units, then the required heat can be supplemented by the industrial plant's global heat storage. Heat will be transferred from the global to local storage. If the heat is not readily available in the global supply (in extreme cases), the available longer-term energy sources in the global heat storage will be converted to heat energy before being transported to the target local heat storage. Short-term and long-term heat storage systems may utilize compact versions of thermal energy storage such as the sensible heat type, chemical energy storage such as hydrogen, and electrochemical energy storage along with conversion to heat modules (if needed). Note: The cost of energy storage and transfer is well compensated by the extra revenue earned due to waste recovery and long-term cost reduction. #wasteheatrecovery #energyrecovery #heatrecovery #energy #heatsink #heatsource #energystorage

#BESS solutions are receiving a lot of attention to facilitate #electrification and growth of businesses while navigating local #grid access and #congestion issues. But what about #industrial heat demand, expected to continue growing this decade? There’s an urgent need to find cleaner options and reduce grid dependency; according to #MIT, #Thermal #batteries could be a key strategy for keeping factories running as efforts to cut their emissions in addition to #H2. https://lnkd.in/eS4etxch

Heat recovery systems offer a promising solution to the energy challenges associated with steam generation in EOR. These systems capture waste heat from various sources within the steam generation process and utilize it to preheat feedwater, supplement steam generation, or perform other useful tasks, thereby minimizing energy waste and reducing fuel consumption https://lnkd.in/dx-6bT3b

Batteries are a cost-effective solution when electricity is needed as an end-product and for a limited duration, up to a few hours. #Thermal energy storage (TES) in molten salts, on the contrary, is one of the more efficient and cheaper solutions to store thermal energy for a long duration, able to discharge heat that can be used both for electricity production when coupled to a power cycle, or directly in industrial processes when heat is needed. However, commercial molten salts have disadvantages that impose limitations for exploiting their full potential. They have a limited operational temperature window, with high freezing points at around 225°C and stability up to 600°C; they can be corrosive; and their availability and costs are subject to the demand for fertilizers, their primary market. So, the search is on for longer duration, efficient, and even cheaper thermal storage technologies without temperature limitations and wider material availability. Packed bed storage with the heat held in a solid material like rocks or waste slags is one approach, with a liquid or a gas like air, to get the heat in. Most are free, widely available, and can withstand extremely high temperatures. https://lnkd.in/dJkgTk7z #CSP #solar #concentrated
