致谢 我们衷心感谢美国能源部能源效率和可再生能源办公室工业技术计划 (ITP) 的支持。这项研究由太平洋西北国家实验室 (PNNL) 和 BCS, Incorporated 根据与 DOE 的合同进行。我们特别要感谢 Sara Dillich 博士 (ITP) 提供的宝贵意见和指导，Rajita Majumdar (BCS, Incorporated) 处理的许多编辑和更改，以及提供见解和建议的审稿人：Thekdi 博士 (E3M, Inc.)。我们还要感谢 Adam Polcyn 博士 (PPG, Inc.) 提供的关于玻璃熔炉的宝贵技术数据，感谢 Elwin Rooy (Rooy Associates) 在初级和再生铝详细信息方面提供的帮助。免责声明 本报告是作为美国政府机构赞助的工作说明而编写的。美国政府及其任何机构及其任何雇员均不对所披露的任何信息、设备、产品或过程的准确性、完整性或有用性做出任何明示或暗示的保证，也不承担任何法律责任或责任，也不声明其使用不会侵犯私有权利。本文中通过商品名称、商标、制造商或其他方式引用任何特定商业产品、流程或服务并不一定构成或暗示美国政府或其任何机构的认可、推荐或支持。作者在此表达的观点和意见并不一定代表或反映美国政府或其任何机构的观点和意见。美国制造业消耗的能源大约有三分之一以热损失的形式排放到大气或冷却系统中。这些排放是工艺效率低下和制造工厂无法利用多余能源的结果。据估计，这种损失或浪费的能源（热量）超过 10 夸脱/年（1 夸脱 = 10 15 Btu），相当于超过 17.2 亿桶石油或 127 天的进口原油供应量。大多数损失的能量都是“低质量”的，并且回收起来不切实际或不经济。一部分废热，高达 1.8 四边形/年，1 被认为是废热回收的机会。人们正在考虑使用包括热电技术在内的各种技术来回收工业过程废能并将其转化为有用的电能。热电 (TE) 材料于 1821 年发现，是一种半导体固体，可产生电力……
Acknowledgments We gratefully acknowledge the support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Industrial Technologies Program (ITP). This study was carried out by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and BCS, Incorporated under contract with DOE. We especially want to thank Dr. Sara Dillich (ITP) for her valuable input and direction, Rajita Majumdar (BCS, Incorporated) for handling the many edits and changes, and the reviewers who provided their insights and suggestions: Dr. Thekdi (E3M, Inc.). We would also like to thank Dr. Adam Polcyn (PPG, Inc.) for his valuable technical data on glass furnaces and Elwin Rooy (Rooy Associates) for aid with the primary and secondary aluminum details.

Roughly a third of the energy consumed by the U.S. manufacturing industry is discharged as thermal losses to the atmosphere or to cooling systems. These discharges are the result of process inefficiencies and the inability of the manufacturing plants to utilize the excess energy. This lost or waste energy (heat) is estimated to be over 10 quads/yr (1 quad = 10 15 Btu), an amount equivalent to more than 1.72 billion barrels of oil or 127 days worth of imported crude oil supply. Most of this lost energy is "low quality" and not practical or economical to recover. A portion of the waste heat, as much as 1.8 quads/yr, 1 is considered to be an opportunity for waste heat recovery. Various technologies, including thermoelectric technologies, are being considered to recover and convert the industrial process waste energy to useful electrical energy. Thermoelectric (TE) materials, discovered in 1821, are semiconductor solids that produce an electric …
