 Go Green and recover your compressors energyUsing a relatively inexpensive conversion process your modern Atlas Copco ZR compressor can be converted to supply 90'c water for various uses around your plant., effectivly using your energy twice.
This isn't a new concept , the energy recovery concept for ZR compressors has been around a long time since ZR3,4,5,6 machines where established on the market many years hence. What has made conversion easier is the new design of the ZR110 to ZR900 for example allowing much lower cost conversion to Energy Recovery. from as low as a few thousand pounds conversion to your modern ZR equipment you could be easily recovering wasted energy..
As a result, the total energy recovered as hot water amounts up to 80-105% of the electrical input energy, depending on the individual site conditions. In most industrial conditions it will be 90 to 95%. This feature sets the ZR oil-free screw compressor with energy recovery apart from any other compressor technology
The heat gathered can be easily pushed through a plate heat exchanger with some other simple additions to provide how water for as an example at between 70 to 90'c

Consider the Heat Lost from Oil Flooded CompressorsOver 90% of the electrical input to a compressor is lost as heat. Companies can reduce their
consumption of heating fuel by recovering waste heat from air and water cooled compressors
and save money. The Carbon Trust
The choice of system depends on the type of compressor, its cooling system and how the recovered heat will be used. The following diagrams show the type of heat recovery possible from compressors and the technology needed to use that heat.Temperatures of up to 80ºC can be reached in the discharge ducting.
