Re-use of industrial waste heat utilising thermochemical materials

20%到50%的工业废热被排放到大气中，损失了大量能量，这些能量可能会被重新利用，为工艺或空间供暖应用提供热量。这种能源的再利用将为制造设施提供显著的经济和环境效益。该项目旨在调查和优化使用热化学存储(TCS)材料从工业废流中捕获热量的过程，并与当地团队合作，以确定HELD回送到现场的范围。研究工程师将：-评估和量化指定生产地点的废流中的可用能量。-开发TCS材料，配置为从已识别的废热流中进行优化存储。-从充放电性能和循环再现性方面表征TCS材料。-从整体能量平衡/能量容量方面表征TCS材料。-研究捕获热量的再利用方法。-量化经济和环境效益。

Between 20 and 50% of industrial waste heat is vented to the atmosphere, losing a huge amount of energy that could potentially be reused to provide heat for process or space heating applications. Re-use of this energy will provide significant economic and environmental benefits to the manufacturing facilities. This project aims to investigate and optimise the capture of heat from industrial waste streams using thermochemical storage (TCS) materials and work collaboratively with local teams to scope out the delivery of hear back into the site.The Research Engineer will:- Assess and Quantify the available energies from waste streams at nominated production sites.- Develop TCS materials configured for optimised storage from the identified waste heat streams.- Characterise the TCS materials with respect to charge and discharge performance and cyclic reproducibility.- Characterise the TCS material with respect to overall energy balance / energy capacity.- Investigate methods of re-use of the captured heat.- Quantify the economic and environmental benefits.
