Examples
- Heat recovery is implemented in heat sources like e.g. a steel mill. Heated cooling water from the process is sold for heating of homes, shops and offices in the surrounding area.
- Regenerative braking is used in electric cars, trains, heavy cranes etc. where the energy consumed when elevating the potential is returned to the electric supplier when released.
- Active pressure reduction systems where the differential pressure in a pressurized fluid flow is recovered rather than converted to heat in a pressure reduction valve and released.
- Energy recovery ventilation
- Energy recycling
- Water heat recycling
- Heat recovery ventilation
- Heat recovery steam generator
- Heat Regenerative Cyclone Engine
- Hydrogen turboexpander-generator
