METHODOLOGY FOR THE UTILIZATION OF WASTE HEAT BY AIR-COOLED COMPRESSORS

Compressed air is still a valid helper in many applications today, where it necessary, for example, to move work equipment, pistons or used cooling as medium. The producer of compressed are compressors, which need an external source its production, usually electric internal combustion engine. Almost all the energy that supplied compressor always converted heat during compression, regardless type compressor. This carries risk overheating and therefore system must be optimally designed. Thus, compression air, large part electrical into heat, only small air. In case oil water-cooled exchangers can directly obtain "for free". cooling, slight gain achieved by modifying exhaust hot ducts. efficiently water buildings, instead being uselessly ventilated. Modern compressors already adapted use waste but most current companies older types have not been heat. interest obtaining reconstruction facility development inevitable.
