The hot water recovery unit captures and effectively utilizes thermal energy that would otherwise be lost through cooling towers and other means. By recovering up to 92% of exhausted thermal energy, it enhances overall factory energy efficiency, reduces electricity and gas costs, and lowers CO₂ emissions. The recovered thermal energy can be repurposed for various applications, including heating boiler feedwater, powering heaters, showers, and thermal water pools.
Product features
