This specially designed Process Therm with an integrated CIP system, which is well suited for dust loaded air, is to be installed in the actual discharge channel. The circulation system transports the recovered energy, which otherwise is lost, from the Process Therm to the pre-heater in the fresh-air conduct.

All-in-all, a great solution that quickly pays for itself while at the same time, it continues to ensure a significant CO2-reduction for your company.

How It Works

The ATCHO Process Therm is designed to extract residual heat from high-temperature processes. As waste heat passes through the system, the Process Therm captures and recycles it back into your process or energy grid, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the need for additional energy inputs.

Key features include:

  • High Efficiency Heat Recovery
    Captures up to 95% 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.
  • Versatile Application
    Suitable for a wide range of industrial sectors including manufacturing and chemical processing.
  • Hygienic Design
    ATCHO’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 dust particles generated during the drying process can be effectively removed.

Heat Pumps

While the use of heat pumps in dryers is not new, their importance has grown significantly. Integrating a heat pump into a dryer’s heat recovery system can lead to substantial energy savings. Depending on process conditions, payback periods can range from 2 to 5 years, making heat pumps a highly cost-effective solution for improving energy efficiency.

At ATCHO, we specialize in creating cutting-edge solutions that improve energy efficiency and reduce waste. With this system, you can lower your operational costs and minimize environmental impact.

Field of application

All processes where there are large amounts of dust in the discharge air. Such examples could be:
  • Food processing plants.
  • Chemical plants.
  • Wood processing plants.
  • Paper processing plants.
  • Textile plants.
  • And similar processes.

Product Advantages

The most obvious advantages of the Process Therm as a heat exchanger are listed below:
  • Maintenance-free in dust loaded air.
  • Delivered with built-in CIP system – No expensive stops.
  • Investment with short pay-back period.
  • Low maintenance cost.
  • Compact design and simple installation.
  • Good thermal operating efficiency due to high heat transfer coefficients.
  • Heat recovery with constant condensation.
  • Long life due to stable and durable corrosion resistant materials.
