OSTI ID:6111178

To focus this study on heat exchanger technologies that have the greatest opportunity for energy savings in New York State, an approximate assessment of the quantity and type of waste heat was made. This assessment indicated that waste heat in flue gas streams is the largest, most concentrated form of waste heat that has an available heat sink which effectively utilizes the waste heat. This study focuses on heat exchanger technology for recovering waste heat from flue gas streams. The study only considers waste heat recovery from flue gases for industrial applications. The information collected on the conventional technology was used to establish a baseline against which to evaluate the advanced technologies. From the evaluation matrix, three advanced technologies were chosen to formulate recommendations for stimulating their use in New York State.
