Waste heat utilization

Waste heat is surplus and unused energy that is generated during the operation of technical devices as well as production and energy conversion plants. By using this form of energy, known as waste heat recovery, the energy efficiency of a process can be increased. With the use of innovative technologies, economic concepts for waste heat recovery can be designed and energy costs can be permanently reduced. The principle of waste heat recovery is used in every combined heat and power plant. By using waste heat as process heat or in a district heating network, CHP plants achieve a higher level of efficiency than with pure electricity production, as the energy from the fuel is converted into both electricity and heat.

Our reference projects for the use of waste heat are:
  • Naturenergie Hersbruck
  • Bayerische Motorenwerke Landshut
Experience and innovation
