Challenge
Ammonia compressors, vital components in refrigeration processes, traditionally release large amounts of waste heat during their operations. This waste heat, if left unutilized, contributes to environmental concerns and represents a missed opportunity for energy efficiency. Recognizing this challenge, the dairy in North India sought to explore innovative ways to harness and repurpose the waste heat generated by their KC-4 ammonia compressors.
Solution
The implementation of ChillerMate’s waste heat recovery solution proved to be a game-changer for the North Indian dairy. The comprehensive solution not only addressed the environmental impact but also demonstrated a compelling return on investment (ROI).
Impact
The impact extended beyond energy and emissions to the very core of operational efficiency. The reduced consumption of briquettes in the boiler underscored the optimization achieved through waste heat recovery. The dairy experienced a streamlined and more resource-efficient process, showcasing that sustainable practices can go hand in hand with operational excellence.
Reduced Emissions
27kW of heat recovered from each of the KC-4 ammonia air compressor
Energy Savings
Hot water heated from 30°C to 65°C for boiler feed water application
Lower Consumption
Briquette consumption reduced in the boiler
100 ton CO2 Per annum
ROI
Payback less than 12 months
