Use your energy twice

Compressing air generates a lot of heat. In fact, most of the electrical energy that goes into a compressor is converted into heat. Without energy recovery, this heat gets dissipated back into the environment. Energy recovery technology captures up to 94% of this waste heat as hot water air or hot air and lets you re-use it for applications that need it anyway, like HVAC systems or industrial processes. That means you get to use your oil-injected screw compressor’s energy twice. 

What is Compressor Heat Recovery?

Over the lifetime of a compressor, energy makes up about 80% of its total cost of ownership. That is why using a highly efficient model is key. Next to choosing the right compressor, energy recovery is the technology that will have the biggest impact on your operational energy use.

The benefits of recovering heat of your compressed air system

  • Reduce energy costs for your applications that require heat

  • Return on Investment typically less than a year

  • Turnkey solution

  • Minimal installation costs and no additional space requirements  

  • Limited piping 

  • Central monitoring via Elektronikon controller
