AMS Waste Heat Recovery System

The AMSEnergy Waste Heat Recovery system works with The Principle.  Our unique, stand-alone unit draws the outside ambient air and warms it utilizing the wasted heat from existing processes within the facility. By warming the outside air and introducing it into the facility, we are creating a more positive pressure environment, thus reducing the overall workload on your heating system which results in lower energy costs.

The system uses low temperature waste heat, which can typically be recovered from liquids used to cool or control process equipment such as air compressors, vacuum pumps, furnaces, injection mold operations, hydraulic tanks- in effect, any device or method which attempts to disperse undesired heat away from the process usually by means of a cooling tower or chiller operation.

The overall goal is to inject the facility with warmer air than what is currently trying to permeate the building. The plant winter heat load can be substantially lowered which results in a significant cost savings. The second benefit to the heated air being forced back into the building and also the most overlooked advantage is the raising of the buildings air balance due to the additional CFM, thus aiding in the lowering of the rate of cold winter air infiltration.  Third, these efforts will also reduce the current work load on the process cooling system due to the extraction of the BTU’s from the incoming process fluid. For example, think of the expenses related to operating a chiller.

Most industrial and many commercial sites are throwing away hundreds of thousands and many times, millions of BTUs per hour. Those BTUʼs represent heat that could be recaptured and used to supplement a facilityʼs existing heating system, thereby, saving a considerable amount of money. Your facility could instead use that money for other projects or to grow your business.

All of these measures will add up in saving your site considerable energy dollars.

Advantages:

• Reclaim and reuse BTU’s back into your facility…BTU’s already paid for
• Increase positive air balance…Decrease cold air infiltration
• Reduce building heating system workload…Lower utility and maintenance costs
• Decrease demands on your cooling system… lower operational and maintenance costs
