Search for information about Heat Recovery & Storage
All high temperature processes generate some waste heat. Sometimes it is cost effective to utilise this heat either at the point of generation for example in recuperative type burners or remotely to heat other parts of an industrial site. In some instances there is no immediate use for waste heat and it can be stored. Heat storage, however, is not practised much in industry and it has its main use for space heating applications where electricity is the main energy source.
