AMSEnergy Waste Heat Recovery Solutions
Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) is the process of recovering heat discharged as a byproduct of one process to provide heat needed by a second process*. So it is the capture and the use of energy contained in fluids or gasses that would otherwise be lost to a facility. In simplistic terms, waste heat can be interpreted as heat rejected, heat that has already been paid for and is now being rejected from a facility to the environment. This heat still has energy and usefulness to the facility in terms of preheating another process or heating a building. Recovery and reuse of this heat has the potential for significant reduction of energy costs and improving the profitability of any business. AMSEnergy has taken a systematic approach to defining and implementing waste heat recovery projects for industrial, commercial and institutional facilities where these opportunities exist.
