HEAT ENERGY RECUPERATION TECHNOLOGIES IN INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT

Abstract

Industrial enterprises consume a significant portion of global energy resources, and a considerable amount of supplied energy is lost in the form of waste heat. Effective utilization of this waste heat through recuperation technologies represents a key opportunity to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact. This paper examines modern heat energy recuperation technologies used in industrial equipment, analyzes their operating principles, and evaluates their economic and ecological benefits. Special attention is given to heat exchangers, regenerative systems, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems, and thermal energy storage technologies.
