Heat recovery reduces costs and benefits the environment

Up to 96 percent of the heat generated by a rotary screw compressor can be recovered as reusable energy. Every litre of fuel oil saved equates to a 2.727 kg reduction in CO₂ emissions, which is not only beneficial for the environment, but also results in significant cost savings.

At today's energy prices, the amortisation period for a heat recovery system ranges between 6 months and 1 year (based on a plate heat exchanger feeding energy into a heating system). Warm air can also be recovered for use from older KAESER rotary screw compressors simply by installing additional ducting. We install optional fail-safe and plate heat exchangers for new rotary screw compressor systems (from 18.5 kW and up). For older rotary screw compressor installations we offer specially designed retro-fit kits.
