WASTE HEAT RECOVERY

Industrial applications

The potential of recovering industrial waste heat is huge. Around 60% of all generated energy in the industry is lost as waste, of which nowadays only a fraction is recovered.

RGS has selected the high temperature waste heat ranging from 700oC to 1500oC. The silicon based thermoelectric material produced by RGS has its optimal power output in this temperature range.

In particular a selection was made for heat recovery in the ferrous, non-ferrous and glass industry. These industries are well known for high temperature processes with a high level of waste heat.

Thermagy can be applied as "a smart heat exchanger" to generate electricity out of the waste heat and influence the heat flow from processes or product.
