Thermal Energy Audit
Thermal energy is generally obtained from firing of a fossil
fuel.Thermal energy audit analyses the generation distribution and utilization
of steam, thermic fluid, hot air system and highlights the gaps in energy
performance. Audit report provides firm actions to eliminate or minimize energy
use for a given application or improve energy efficiency.
|
Steam boiler, furnaces, thermic fluid
heater and hot air generator are fired equipment. The performance criteria of
this equipment are measurable through its efficiency. Possibility of fuel
substitution for cost reduction is studied in detailed. Heat losses through
improper insulation and energy loss due to pressure drops are analysed and
suggests remedial action for improvement.Analysis of Utilization of thermal
energy will be carried out for suggests WHR equipment’slike Heat Wheels, Heat
Pipes, Heat Pumps,Thermo-compressor,economiser etc. The performance of Fuels and
combustion system, boiler, furnaces, insulation, Heat exchangers and waste heat
recovery system will be studied in details .In addition, energy substation and
alternate energy application will be explored for sustainability.
