FAQ

Latest:
Where can I get the latest Heat Recovery Tool news and updates?
All the latest news and updates are published on this site under the »News and Updates". You can access it here.
Where can I learn more about heat recovery and sector coupling?
Heat recovery captures and reuses waste heat to improve energy efficiency. Sector coupling integrates different energy sectors with the power sector to use renewable electricity across various applications. Both concepts aim to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Read more here: What are Integrated Energy Systems? – Find out here.
Why is there a temperature drop after the heat recovery station?
The temperature drop behind a heat recovery station is due to unavoidable heat losses. While the system captures and reuses a significant portion of the waste heat, some heat is inevitably lost during the transfer process and through the system’s components.
Where can I find training materials or guides for using the Heat Recovery Tool?
You can find training materials and guides for using the Heat Recovery Tool under the Quick Links section in the header menu of our tool. Here, you will find User Instructions as well as a video guide that will help you understand how to use the tool effectively. If you have any further questions? Looking for immediate support?

Why do I need a heat recovery station if I am supplying the heat to external?
A heat recovery station can serve to decouple the hydronic systems of the excess heat source and the heat receiver. This decoupling helps to manage different temperature and pressure requirements, ensuring stable and efficient operation for both systems.
How accurate are the tool’s calculations?
The tool’s calculations are based on the input data and the underlying mathematical models. They provide a good estimate of potential savings and efficiency but should be considered as guidelines.
What are the benefits of heat recovery?
Using the Heat Recovery offers several benefits: Cost savings: Calculation of potential financial savings through heat recovery. Efficiency improvement: Optimization of heat usage and reduction of energy losses. Sustainability: Contribution to reducing CO2 emissions through more efficient energy use.
