Most of the energy consumed by the air compressor during operation is converted into heat and carried away by the compressed oil and gas mixture. These oil and gas mixtures are separated and carried away by cooling media (water or air) in their respective coolers (oil cooler and gas cooler), resulting in wasted heat. In theory, 85% of the heat can be recovered and utilized.
The heat recovery system designs and manufactures efficient heat exchange devices of different models based on the different calorific values of oil and gas in each compressor model. These devices are matched with various types of compressors to avoid compressor failures and increased energy consumption caused by inaccurate heat exchange area, excessive pressure drop, and low oil pressure.

Advantages of air compressor waste heat recovery for producing hot water
The operation and exhaust temperature of the air compressor are very stable, without high temperatures, which reduces the failure rate of the equipment and extends its service life.
2. Oil filters and oil gas separators have better filtration and separation effects, and correspondingly extend the duration; The replacement period of consumables has been extended, reducing maintenance costs.
3. The air compressor can maintain the optimal operating temperature of 82-96 ℃, which improves the performance of lubricating oil and reduces losses.
During the operation of the unit to produce hot water, the original radiator, heat exchange fan, or water pump of the air compressor can be stopped, greatly reducing the power consumption of the air compressor.
5. The service life of each valve component of the air compressor is longer, effectively reducing maintenance costs.
