Integration of industrial solar and gaseous waste heat into heat recovery loops using constant and variable temperature storage

Quantitative tools for cultivating symbiosis in industrial parks; a literature review

“…In an IP park specific context, Starfelt and Yan [42] presented a simulation based feasibility study of retrofitting the cogeneration system by incorporating gas turbine technology with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) to replace the current diesel engine with HRSG and absorption chillers. A study of using solar heating with HRLs was presented by Walmsley et al [53] with constant and variable storages temperatures. This work was extended by Walmsley et al [54] where solar and industrial waste heat were considered as potential heat sources.…”

IEA SHC Task 49/IV - Deliverable B1 - Methodologies and Software Tools for Integrating Solar Heat into Industrial Processes

“…This is appropriate for low pinch temperature industry sectors (examples are food and beverage sectors) and large multi-plant sites using large amounts of hot water and operate semi-continuously. As shown by Walmsley and colleagues [14], the existence of the HRL-HS infrastructure represents an opportunity to reduce the costs for integrating solar heat, since the HRL-HS costs can be shared for both the heat recovery between processes and the solar heat distribution. The authors compare two strategies for designing and operating the HRL-HS system (constant temperature storage (CTS) versus variable temperature storage (VTS)) for different pinch temperature positions (hot "end" of heat source profile versus cold "end" of heat sink profile).…”

Appropriate placement of vapour recompression in ultra-low energy industrial milk evaporation systems using Pinch Analysis

“…For the final two targets, there is a lack of LTHW sinks within the milk powder process and so one option is to export heat to co-located plants (e.g. cheese, whey, casein, or butter plants) for large multi-plant sites using hot water loops [33].…”
