Caron, R N

Waste-heat recovery has not been achieved to its fullest potential although its technology has been well-established for two decades. However, recent developments in heat-exchanger technology coupled with higher fuel costs have further increased energy-conservation possibilities and enhanced the incentive for waste-heat recovery. This report is designed to encourage use of new heat-exchanger designs by examining the heat-exchanger technologies that have the greatest opportunity for energy savings in New York State. Additionally, it describes which technologies would be most appropriate for specific industries. If New York State's industrial sector fully used this advanced heat-exchanger technology, up to 50% of heat now wasted could be recovered and used. The study indicates that heat exchangers have particular promise for the glass, chemical, paper, textile, and baking industries. Depending on the waste-heat source and intended use, the potential industrial benefit can be extensive.
