Today, energy efficiency and Environmental Protection are prioritized. This is why the use of hidden energy sources is given special importance. One of these sources is the waste heat from industrial processes that are usually excreted into the environment without use. But is this heat really worthless? In response, it should be said that no; with innovative technologies such as the Organic Rankine Cycle, this seemingly useless heat can be turned into a sustainable source of electricity generation. We’re going to show you how the ABC is making this big change and what the benefits are in industry and the environment. If you are active in the energy or industry and are looking for new solutions to reduce consumption and increase productivity, do not miss the following.
Did you know that waste heat can be a source of electricity?
Every day in factories, refineries, motorcycles and power plants, huge amounts of heat are discharged unused. Now the question is: why should this heat be wasted? Can’t it be recycled and turned into a source of energy? Interestingly, this seemingly useless heat has the potential to generate clean and cheap electricity.
This is where new technologies like ABC enter the field to convert waste heat into electricity. Imagine a factory that used to use only energy, now able to generate electricity from its heat and partially compensate for its consumption! This is the change the world needs today to achieve sustainable development.
What is ERC and how does it work?
The organic Rankin cycle, or ERC, is an intelligent system for converting low-temperature heat into electricity. Unlike the traditional Rankin cycle, which uses water and steam, ERC uses an organic fluid with a low boiling point. This feature allows the ERC to use even heat sources with temperatures from 80 to 150 degrees Celsius. The process is that the waste heat is taken from a source such as a chimney, engine or industrial equipment and transferred to an organic fluid. This fluid evaporates and enters a turbine. The turbine generates mechanical energy by rotating it and transfers it to the generator to eventually generate electricity.
After passing through the turbine, the fluid vapor in the condenser is cooled and converted into liquid to re-enter the cycle. This process is completely closed and causes less energy loss. ERC systems are more efficient at low temperatures than traditional systems, and are therefore ideal for recycling energy from waste heat. They also do not require high pressures and provide stable performance with minimal maintenance costs.
Reasons why ERC is important for recycling waste heat
One of the main reasons for the importance of the ABC is its ability to use energy sources that were previously unused. In various industries, equipment such as boilers, gas turbines, furnaces and even pipelines all produce large amounts of heat that is normally transferred to the environment. The ERC converts this lost energy into electricity without the need for additional fuel or heavy investment in complex infrastructure. This reduces the cost of electricity consumption and increases energy efficiency.
On the other hand, the ERC helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By generating electricity from the existing heat, fossil fuels are less needed, and this helps reduce the carbon footprint of industries. This technology is one of the best options for improving the environmental and economic performance of companies during the transition to clean energy by increasing energy efficiency and reducing operating costs. ERC is a bridge between lost energy and sustainable electricity generation.
ERC applications in various industries
ERC is applicable in many industries due to its high flexibility and ability to use low temperature heat. The following are the main uses of this intelligent system:
• Gas and diesel power plants: exhaust exhaust heat and converters can be a source of electricity generation. Along with these units, ERC generates complementary or Independent Electricity.
* Steel and metals industries: heat exhausted from furnaces and steel production lines can be recycled through ERC and reduce the energy cost of the plant.
• Cement and ceramic factories: in the cooking process, high temperatures are produced, part of which is recyclable and is very suitable for generating electricity through ERC.
* Refineries and petrochemicals: sewage heat and process equipment are important sources of energy recycling with ERC.
* Renewable energy infrastructure (such as biogas and Geothermal): the low temperature of these resources is very suitable for ERC systems and increases efficiency.
The impact of ERC on energy sustainability
ERC is a technology to increase productivity and is a key tool in moving towards a sustainable future. Clean, pollution-free electricity can be generated using the heat that has so far entered the environment. This reduces dependence on fossil fuel sources, reduces greenhouse gas production and improves the environmental performance of industries. In fact, the ABC allows companies to take a big step towards clean energy with minimal changes in existing infrastructure.
In addition, the use of ERC provides energy security at the local level. In a situation where fluctuations in electricity prices and fuel constraints have increased, generating electricity from domestic and fuel-free sources such as waste heat is a great solution to reduce costs and increase energy independence. Along with renewable energy, this technology helps to form a hybrid and sustainable energy model.
