Description
As part of the expansion of efficient CHP systems at the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing, Gammel Engineering was commissioned with a central hydrotechnical study: to reduce the hot water network (flow temperature previously 140 °C) to the new target level of 120 °C without impairing existing processes. The focus was particularly on plant 2.1 with its intensive washing systems, which were previously operated at higher temperatures.
First of all, all washing systems in plant 2.1 were systematically recorded and their suitability for the new flow temperature operation was assessed in detail. The aim was to define targeted retrofitting measures for selected systems in order to ensure reliable operation at 120 °C - including the required heating times and unchanged washing quality. At the same time, it was important to enable low return temperatures for the optimal operation of the CHP plants - Gammel developed targeted concepts for return flow optimization.
From the very beginning, we worked closely with the operator teams to implement technical conversions or adaptations with precision. Our engineers created a robust basis for decision-making: test reports, catalogs of measures and hydraulic network models formed the basis for successful integration - and thus for a sustainable increase in the plant's own power yield and energy efficiency.
This project is further proof of your role as technical specialists: you solve complex issues in existing industrial processes, ensure operational reliability and increase renewable energy production - all with measurable effects and the highest engineering quality.
