Heat Recovery from Chillers: Harnessing Waste Heat for Building Heating and Industrial Efficiency

Energy efficiency and sustainability have become central themes in modern building design and industrial operations. As the demand for cooling continues to rise, so does the potential for recovering and utilizing waste heat from chillers—an often-overlooked source of thermal energy. Instead of allowing this heat to dissipate, innovative strategies can repurpose it for space heating, domestic hot water, or industrial processes, significantly reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

This book, "Heat Recovery from Chillers: Utilizing Waste Heat for Building Heating and Industrial Processes," explores the principles, technologies, and applications of heat recovery from chiller systems. It provides practical insights into how engineers, facility managers, and decision-makers can integrate heat reclaim solutions to optimize system performance while contributing to sustainability goals.

From understanding the fundamentals of heat recovery to examining real-world case studies, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for those looking to enhance energy efficiency in commercial buildings, district heating networks, and industrial processes. By harnessing waste heat effectively, organizations can not only improve economic performance but also play a key role in reducing carbon emissions and advancing global sustainability initiatives.

I hope this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals and researchers seeking to unlock the full potential of heat recovery in HVAC and industrial systems.
