Need help to find a way to capture waste heat from diesel electric generators (45 KW) to heat water for small hotel use (45 rooms + kitchen). Exploring all options: jacket water, oil, exhaust. Anyone please help.
Capturing waste heat from diesel electric generators involves using a heat recovery system to collect and store the excess heat produced during the generator's operation. This heat can then be used for various purposes, such as heating buildings or water.
Capturing waste heat from diesel electric generators can lead to significant energy and cost savings. It also reduces the environmental impact of the generator by decreasing the amount of fuel needed to produce the same amount of energy.
Yes, waste heat from diesel electric generators can be utilized for a variety of purposes, such as heating water, buildings, or even powering other equipment through a heat-to-power conversion process.
One limitation is the initial cost of installing a heat recovery system, which may be expensive. Additionally, the efficiency of the heat recovery system may depend on the specific conditions and design of the generator.
It is best to consult with a professional to assess the feasibility of capturing waste heat from diesel electric generators for your specific situation. Factors such as the size and type of generator, energy needs, and available space for a heat recovery system should be considered.
