The study on the heat recovery from air compressors

Effective use of utilities in production plants is an issue that is becoming increasingly significant in energy policy of Europe. Production of compressed air consumes 3% of the total electricity consumption in Europe. In order to produce compressed air, approximately 10-20% of electricity transferr...
