Project introduction:
Nearly three-quarters of all energy produced by human beings is wasted as waste heat. Waste heat is a complicated problem and needs many different innovations. Heat capture is one of the solutions.
A Swiss company has developed an innovative heavy-duty heat exchanger for polluted air flow, which can not only recover energy from harsh environment, but also create economic value. In this way, the company helps customers save money, save energy and reduce the human climate footprint.
In a challenging ventilation environment, you need a heavy-duty solution to deal with all the smoke and grease. This heat exchanger can run stably in polluted airflow and is suitable for various process ventilation systems. Pollutants may vary, from grease and smoke in the ventilation system of restaurants, to wax and fluff in industrial laundry rooms, to residual paint and sawdust in woodworking industry, to grease and water vapor in food processing and snack production, to name a few.
At present, commercial kitchens and production facilities all over Europe are using this product to recover excess heat from polluted exhaust gas. In Europe's big pancake factory located in the south of Sweden, the system can recover 1500000 kWh of electricity every year.
Its efficiency of recovering energy from polluted airflow is as high as 68%, which is attributed to the company's patented particle exclusion geometry. As a heavy-duty heat exchanger, it is larger than the traditional heat exchanger, so as to leave room for the patented recovery coil geometry of the company. The space between the coils is much larger than that between the fins of a traditional heat exchanger. In this way, a unique air flow pattern is formed, and most particles can pass through the heat exchanger instead of sticking to the coil. This slows down the accumulation on the coil, and even if the coating is formed, the air pressure can be reduced.
This heat exchanger is based on coil, adopts countercurrent and multi-fluid mode, and its heat conduction element surface area is the same as that of traditional heat exchanger.
Cooperation mode:
It can be widely used in various types of industrial and commercial bodies to recover heat energy and create economic value. Look for more development applications and business partners based on patent licensing agreements.
