What is Waste Heat?
Waste heat is released into the surrounding atmosphere as a byproduct of a machine or other process doing work. All processes give off some waste heat as a fundamental result of the Laws of Thermodynamics. For example, lights, internal combustion engines and electronic components get warm when in operation.
What are the benefits of using Waste Heat?
Waste heat (or cold) can often be utilized by another process reducing additional fuel consumption. In some instances, waste heat utilization can reduce a project's capital expenditures associated with installing additional boiler capacity, etc.
