The CHR350S Heat Energy Recovery Unit is a precision-engineered system designed to capture and repurpose thermal energy from oil-lubricated screw air compressors. It directly addresses industrial energy waste by interfacing with 350 kW compressors, recovering up to 217.2 kW of heat from the compressor's oil cooling circuit. This recovered energy is transferred to a water stream, producing 3.73 cubic meters per hour of usable hot water at 60°C from a 10°C inlet. The unit features robust DN65 connections and a compact 1200x650x1200 mm design, built for reliability and seamless integration into existing compressed air systems. It transforms a byproduct of compression—heat—into a valuable utility, offering a practical solution for cost-conscious operations seeking to improve their sustainability profile and bottom line.

This recovery unit finds critical application in energy-intensive industries where compressed air is a utility and process or space heating is a concurrent need. Manufacturing plants utilize the hot water for parts cleaning, electroplating rinse tanks, and maintaining process temperatures. In the food and beverage sector, it provides sanitizing hot water for cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems and equipment sterilization. Automotive and metal fabrication facilities use it for paint booth heating, phosphate coating lines, and degreasing operations. Chemical processing plants employ it for reactor jacket heating or distillation column reboiler support. Any facility with a substantial screw compressor installation can leverage this system to offset traditional heating fuel costs, making it a strategic asset for industries like plastics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and general heavy engineering.

The business value of the CHR350S is rooted in direct operational cost reduction and enhanced system efficiency. By converting waste heat into usable thermal energy, it significantly lowers the expenditure on primary fuels like natural gas, electricity, or oil typically used for water heating. This translates to a faster return on investment and improved profitability. The unit's reliability is ensured through durable construction designed for continuous operation alongside the compressor, requiring minimal maintenance. It enhances the overall efficiency of your compressed air system, reducing the cooling load on the compressor itself and potentially extending component life. Implementing this technology demonstrates a commitment to sustainable practices by lowering your facility's carbon footprint and reducing thermal pollution, which can support corporate environmental goals and compliance.
