OMEGA Thermo Products Heat Recovery Bank

OMEGA Thermo Products Heat Recovery Banks are industrial heat transfer assemblies used to capture heat from exhausted or vented process streams and apply that recovered heat to preheating applications.

In plant environments where usable heat is lost through wet gas or liquid streams, heat recovery banks provide a way to transfer available thermal energy back into the process instead of allowing it to leave the system unused.

OMEGA identifies these products for energy recovery applications involving the right combination of heat source, temperature, moisture, and flow conditions.

Heat Recovery Banks are designed for process applications where recovered heat may help reduce natural gas utility demand, lower thermal loading to effluent systems, and reduce visible vapor emissions. OMEGA notes that these units may be used with wet gas and liquid streams and are adaptable to existing flange patterns, locations, and overall size requirements when replacing or modifying an existing installation.

For Process Controls Corporation customers evaluating industrial heat recovery equipment, Heat Recovery Banks fit within the broader category of custom fabricated heat transfer assemblies.

They should be distinguished from ice banks, falling film chillers, industrial ice machines, clamp-on plates, immersion heat exchangers, and tank-mounted heating or cooling jackets.

Heat Recovery Banks are intended for recovering available process heat and applying it to compatible preheating or energy recovery duties, with final configuration dependent on the specific process stream, installation requirements, and operating conditions.
