10.1 Energy recovery

10.1.1 Energy recovery unit
Description
A large part of the energy required for any compression process is transformed into heat. For oil-injected
screw compressors, the major part of the compression heat is dissipated through the oil system. The energy
recovery (ER) systems are designed to recover most of the above-mentioned heat by transforming it into
warm or hot water without any adverse influence on the compressor performance. The water can be used
for diverse applications.
Components
The energy recovery system is completely integrated and mainly comprises:
• Stainless steel oil/water heat exchanger
• Selector handle (V1) to enable/disable Energy Recovery
• Thermostatic by-pass valve for energy recovery heat exchanger(s) (BV)
• Two temperature sensors for water inlet and outlet control (3 and 4)
• The necessary bolts, flexibles, etc.
