Industrial ventilation heat recovery systems are designed to improve energy efficiency in industrial facilities by recovering waste heat from exhaust air and transferring it to incoming fresh air. These systems reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability by minimizing heat loss.

Key Components

1. Heat Exchanger: The core component where heat transfer occurs. Common types include:
   • ਪਲੇਟ ਹੀਟ ਐਕਸਚੇਂਜਰ: Use metal plates to transfer heat between air streams.
   • Rotary Heat Exchangers: Use a rotating wheel to transfer heat and, in some cases, moisture.
   • Heat Pipes: Utilize sealed tubes with a working fluid for efficient heat transfer.
   • Run-Around Coils: Use a fluid loop to transfer heat between air streams.
2. Ventilation System: Includes fans, ducts, and filters to manage airflow.
3. Control System: Monitors and regulates temperature, airflow, and system performance to optimize efficiency.
4. Bypass Mechanisms: Allow the system to bypass heat recovery during conditions where it’s unnecessary (e.g., summer cooling).

ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਸਿਧਾਂਤ

• Exhaust Air: Warm air from industrial processes (e.g., manufacturing, drying) is extracted.
• ਹੀਟ ਟ੍ਰਾਂਸਫਰ: The heat exchanger captures thermal energy from the exhaust air and transfers it to the cooler incoming fresh air without mixing the two air streams.
• Supply Air: The preheated fresh air is distributed into the facility, reducing the need for additional heating.
• ਊਰਜਾ ਬੱਚਤ: By recovering 50-80% of waste heat (depending on the system), the demand on heating systems like boilers or furnaces is significantly reduced.

Types of Systems

1. Air-to-Air Heat Recovery: Directly transfers heat between exhaust and supply air streams.
2. Air-to-Water Heat Recovery: Transfers heat to a liquid medium (e.g., water) for use in heating systems or processes.
3. Combined Systems: Integrate heat recovery with other processes, such as humidity control or cooling.

ਲਾਭ
