In the framework of ETEKINA project, waste energy streams have been analysed at an aluminium automotive parts production facility in Spain, a steel foundry Slovenia and ceramic tile unit Italy. The aim is to recover more than 40% heat contained exhaust reuse it within industrial plant rather emitting atmosphere. To select applications where profitability recovery can be demonstrated, flow rates temperatures applicable measured processes for it's re-used three plants. demonstration...
An analysis of the end use energy in EU reveals that industry is one three dominant categories, which accounts for 26.1% final energy. In case aluminium industry, approximately 70% consumption due to heat and thermal processes, highlighting a vast potential waste recovery technologies. Within die casting liquid cast, formed, cooled, further processed within process, includes sub-processes: solubilising, quenching, ageing. presented, process second most intensive factory, ageing treatment...
The present work deals with the development of a small-scale SOFC based micro-combined heat and power (CHP) system. system operates on CPOX generated syngas from natural gas, features an stack nominal electrical 1.5 kWel, is able to deliver 2.75 kWth, modulation range ∼1:3. An overall efficiency 30% 90%, respectively, are targeted. current contribution presents architecture micro-CHP unit, concerns operational performance major peripheral components. being performed within FP7...
During the summer months, air-conditioning (cooling) is single largest use of electricity in both residential and commercial buildings with major impact on peak electric demand. Improved technology has by far greatest potential industry compared to any other that uses electricity. Thermally activated absorption (absorption chillers) can provide overall load reduction grid relief for This paper describes an innovative based integrated rotating heat exchangers enhance mass transfer resulting a...
Modelica models for the prediction of temperature load inside a walking basket type reheat furnace aluminium industry have been developed. The loads move through with discrete movements. Several library components developed using Standard Fluid Library. In order to validate them full 1D simulation model has built. It allows calculating heat transfer walls, and composition combustion gases, products, as well fumes flow pressure drops. provides necessary resources modelling this furnaces...
