How does the Atlas Copco energy recovery system work?

The major part of the compression heat is dissipated through the oil system. The Atlas Copco energy recovery systems are designed to recover most of the above-mentioned heat as warm or hot water without any adverse influence on the compressor performance.

How do Atlas Copco hot water recovery kits work?

To save on floor space, the Atlas Copco hot water recovery kits are completely integrated into your new or existing Atlas Copco oil-injected screw compressor. The kits include an oil/water heat exchanger, a thermostatic by-pass valve, two temperature sensors for water inlet and outlet control, and any necessary accessories.

What is the Atlas Copco thermo kit?

The Atlas Copco Thermo Kit is the easy, all-in-one energy recovery and storage solution. It captures the waste heat of your compressor as hot water and stores it in a bufer vessel until you need it. Thermo Kit is often used for central heating, but it can also be employed in other closed loop hot water systems. required connector parts.

How does energy recovery work?

In oil-injected screw compressors, most of this compression heat is dissipated through the oil system. The Energy Recovery stand alone kit is designed to recover most of this heat by transforming it into warm/hot water without adversely affecting compressor performance.

How much energy can be recovered from a compressor?

The amount of energy that can be recovered depends on the size of the compressor and the running hours. Typical recoveries are between 50% and 94%. As nearly 70% of all industrial processes include the use of hot water or steam, energy recovery units can reduce both fuel and maintenance costs of alternative equipment.
