Energy Efficiency
Aichelin Unitherm plants are equipped with the latest available, future-oriented, energy- and consumption-optimized solutions. We consequently continue this path. We support you with our long-term experience in the planning of new plants and optimization of existing plants. The thereby realizable savings regarding energy and media consumption achieve a noticeable cost reduction. Additionally, you assure a sustainable, environmentally friendly and resource-saving production.
Increase the Energy Efficiency of your Plant
The chart above shows you where your plant has the potential to increase energy efficiency, for example, through these measures:
Plant-external heat recovery
Utilization of the thermal energy of the burner exhaust gases for the external consumer (e.g. for building heating)
Intelligent inlet and outlet technology
Is already standard in Aichelin Unitherm plants.
By injecting the charge from below with its own inlet lock, disturbances of the process gas atmosphere are minimized.
Improved metallurgical treatment with reduced process gas consumption
In-process heat recovery I
Heating of the wash emulsion by waste heat recovery from oil bath cooling or burner exhaust gases.
The savings potential for cleaning plants is up to 70 % - with continuous production.
In-process heat recovery II
Waste heat utilization of the oil bath for drying Immersion oil bath
Endogas consumption is further reduced by immersion oil baths.
Optimized wall insulation
High-quality insulation materials, such as microporous insulation materials, enable a reduction in energy losses through lower surface temperatures.
This makes it possible to reduce wall losses by up to 20%.
State-of-the-art burner technology
Recuperative burners of the latest generation enable energy losses to be reduced by lowering the exhaust gas temperature. This measure is already standard in new Aichelin Unitherm plants.
Natural gas savings: up to 30 % (compared to cold air burners), with low emission values.
