Consideration of Opportunities for the Optimization of Heat Energy Consumption in Industry and Energetics

Abstract

One of the priorities of modern industrial production is the optimization of heat energy consumption. The use of different technical solutions can reduce the heat energy consumption in industry and energetics. The paper considers how the optimization of heat energy consumption is influenced by the following technical solutions: increasing the efficiency of the boiler, returning the condensate to steam boilers and using the evaporator, setting the process parameters of combustion in industrial furnaces, heat insulation of the reservoirs, vessels and installations, application of heat pumps and the use of renewable energy sources and waste materials. Each of the considered technical solutions leads to a reduction in the consumption of heat energy and emissions of waste gases into the atmosphere.
