Results for tag: "Waste Heat Recovery Boiler"

Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRBs) are a subset of heat exchangers specifically designed to capture and utilize the heat from hot waste gases produced by various industrial processes, engines, or incinerators. The recovered heat can be used for various applications, including heating water or other working fluids, which can then generate steam for power production. As integral components of the broader industrial heat management system, WHRBs complement other systems such as heat exchangers and cooling towers. Heat exchangers are devices that facilitate the transfer of heat between two or more fluids at different temperatures without mixing them. In contrast, cooling towers are structures designed to dissipate waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a water stream to a lower temperature. Both heat exchangers and cooling towers can operate in conjunction with WHRBs to optimize thermal efficiency. While heat exchangers may transfer excess heat for utilization or storage, cooling towers can reject unutilized residual heat from the system. Key players in the Waste Heat Recovery Boiler market include Alfa Laval, General Electric, Thermax, AMEC Foster Wheeler, and Siemens. These companies engage in the design, manufacture, and distribution of WHRBs and provide associated services for their maintenance and operation, catering to the needs of various industries such as power generation, oil and gas, chemical, and primary metals.
