Process Therm
Process Therm
The Process Therm with an integrated CIP system is well suited for recuperating heat from powder loaded air. It is typically installed downstream of a bag filter, but it can also operate in systems with only cyclones installed. The heat recovered is transferred to water or glycol, that is circulated to the fresh air pre-heater.
Implementing the Process Therm recuperator is a great solution that quickly pays for itself, and it ensures a significant CO2-reduction for your company.
How It Works
The ATHCO Process Therm is designed to extract residual heat from drying processes. As waste heat passes through the system, the Process Therm captures and recycles it back into your process or heating grid, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the need for additional heat input.
Key features include:
- High Efficiency Heat Recovery
Captures up to 1500 kW of waste heat to be reused in your process. The unit can run as a dry unit without condensation of moisture. But it can without problems as well handle condensation of moisture and thereby increasing the heat recovery significantly.
- Easy Installation
Designed for easy integration into existing systems. ATHCO Engineering can deliver from just the Process Therm unit up to a complete package including transition pieces, pre-heater and pump station for the circulation water. - Well Suited for Retrofit
The Process Therm can operate with both horizontal and vertical air flow direction. The design will always be adapted to the actual site layout.Furthermore, the Process Therm can also be installed in plants without a bag filter (i.e. downstream cyclones).
Versatile Application
Suitable for a wide range of industrial sectors like food, feed, detergent and chemical industries
- Hygienic Design
ATHCO’s CIP-cleanable heat recovery system features a pillow plate heat exchanger, allowing for easy cleaning of the air side during production. This ensures that powder particles from the drying process can be effectively removed from the cooling surface.
Heat Pumps
While the application of heat pumps in dryer plants is not new, they have regained a lot of focus recently. Integrating a heat pump into a dryer’s heat recovery system can lead to substantial further energy savings. Depending on the process conditions, payback periods can range from 2 to 5 years, making heat pumps a highly cost-effective solution for improving energy efficiency.
