Case Analysis: High-temperature heat pump renovation project of a gargle factory
Project background
A manufacturer with an annual output of 2,000 tons of gargle originally used gas boilers to provide heat energy for the production process, which was costly and inefficient, and there were steam leaks and pipeline heat losses.
Renovation plan
- Introduce a high-temperature heat pump system to provide 40-100°C hot water for cleaning, dissolving, mixing and sterilization;
- Set up a waste heat recovery device to use the waste heat released during the production process to preheat the cleaning water;
- Optimize the existing pipeline system to reduce heat loss.
Renovation effect
- Energy saving benefits: save about 350,000 yuan in energy costs per year;
- Environmental benefits: reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 700 tons;
- Production benefits: improve thermal energy stability and increase production efficiency by 10%;
- Return on investment: recover the renovation cost within 1.8 years.
