Energy, work and power • Work is the transmission of energy. • The unit of work and energy is JOULE. • The speed at which work is performed is power [J/s = W].
Heat capacity To heat up a body with a mass of m by DT, the following amount of heat is required: Q = c m DT The specific heat capacity c of the material depends on the temperature. The specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to heat up 1 kg of material by 1 °C. Unit: [c] = 1 J.kg-1.K-1 Specific heat capacity Gold Iron Oxygen Benzene Water
The performance of 1 kWh • Lifts 1 ton of steel by 367 m! • Accelerates a car (1 ton) to approx. 60 km/h (without losses 305 km/h)! • Heats up 1 000 l of water by 0.86 °C! Source: Karl Lummerstorfer, Energie Institut Linz
Part of the steam system Efficiency Steam boiler (70-) 82 – 90% Steam transportation 75 – 90% Heat exchange 85 – 98% Efficiency in a steam system
Steam system • Reduce leaks. • Improve operation of steam traps. • Increase condensate recovery. • Increase flash steam recovery. • Use lower steam pressure if possible. • Use direct steam for heating if possible.
Cooling process Efficiency = Qcond. / P ~ Tcond. / (Tcond. – Tevap.) Q: Heat P: Power T: Temperature Consequences: • The lower the temperature difference the better: • Check the necessary cooling temperature • Allow the temperature in the condenser to be as low as possible (e.g. water cooling) • Maintain the heat exchanger (especially evaporator) • ... • The higher the cooling temperature the better • Others: • Remove water from ground • Avoid high temperature of the incoming product • ...

Cooling and freezing • Raising the cooling temperature by 1 °C saves approx. 4% of electric energy. • Choose the adequate temperature: frozen meat at -20 °C, cooling at 0 °C to 4 °C. • Clean the condenser regularly and provide sufficient cool air supply. • Use the capacity of the storage rooms, collect goods, switch off unused cooling units. • Keep storage rooms closed to avoid entrance of humidity and warm air. • Defrost cooling rooms.
Cooling – 2 • Insulation • Recommendations for PU-foam insulation: Insulation thickness • Evaporator: • Optimize defrosting • Compressor • Close to evaporator • Central location makes servicing and use of heat easier • Condenser: • Outside of building, sun-protected • Clean regularly • Use R134 a, R22 or ammonia 0 to -8 °C 0 to -15 °C below -15 °C 80mm 110mm 150mm
Q1 Q4 8 Q3 Q2 Ti Td To QT Drying process • Fresh air drying • Fresh air drying with heat recovery • Circulating air drying with/without heat recovery • Heat recovery with condensation of humidity (heat pumps, thermo-compression) Typical options for improvement: Q1 = Insulation of drier Q2 = Pre-drying, pre-concentration of the product Q3 = Control of temperature and humidity Q4 = Heat recovery, humidity control of flue gas, good housekeeping
Compressedair • Shut down compressor, drier and the network • Reduce the pressure level(as far as possible) • Avoid leakages • Lower the temperature of incoming air • Avoid compressed air for cleaning • Carry out maintenance • Use electrically-driven equipment • Foster heat recovery Source: Karl Lummerstorfer, Energie Institut Linz
Lighting • Turn off when not needed • Use timer or motion detector • Use daylight as much as possible • Service and clean • Clean windows, ensure efficientdesign of rooms • Use energy saving bulbs
