Waste heat economizers, or waste heat recovery units, play a pivotal role in enhancing industrial heating systems’ efficiency. If you’re seeking ways to reduce waste, emissions, and energy expenses while simultaneously boosting your facility’s productivity, investing in a waste heat economizer is a strategic move.
Exploring your options when it comes to a waste heat recovery system for your plant or facility? Read on to find answers to some popular questions about waste heat recovery units.
Waste heat economizers, also referred to as waste heat recovery units, are integral components of industrial heating systems. They capture and repurpose energy generated within equipment such as turbines and incinerators, redirecting it for various applications, including heating other materials. These systems harness heat and energy that would otherwise go to waste, making them a prime choice for optimizing facility efficiency.
Waste heat recovery units enjoy widespread use across various industries for good reasons. They offer an array of compelling advantages, including:
Enhanced Efficiency: By tapping into previously wasted heat, industrial processes become more efficient.
Reduced Energy Consumption: Waste heat economizers help lower energy consumption, resulting in significant cost savings.
Lower Operating Costs: Decreased energy usage translates to reduced operating expenses.
Environmental Responsibility: These units contribute to decreased waste and emissions, aligning with sustainable practices.
You can learn in more detail about the benefits of waste heat economizers here.
Within a waste heat recovery unit, high-temperature gases generated by industrial heating equipment (e.g., incinerators, oxidizers, gasifiers, and turbines) are captured. Instead of being expelled, the heat energy produced during these processes is recycled and repurposed to support other industrial operations. This process not only conserves energy but also enhances the overall efficiency of the system.

There are many considerations in selecting a channel/bonnet for your application. Your solution’s budget, accessibility needs and cleaning requirements will help lead you to the best solution for your production process.
Enerquip provides several standard machined and fabricated options. So, what’s the difference?
Fabricated designs involve creating parts from raw materials, including a stainless steel flange and pipe cap, typically. More specifically, this design requires cutting, machining, and welding these raw materials together. Machining, on the other hand, starts with a solid piece of stainless steel plate or forging and creates the finished part through milling and drilling.
All of Enerquip’s machined designs are manufactured for cleanability and easy draining through weep holes in the pass partition of a multiple pass unit. Our fabricated designs have larger volume for product hold-up and also can be designed with removable covers for ease of tube cleaning (ideal for more viscous product applications).
For many food and beverage applications, the machined channel may be a better (and more cost-effective) option, while fabricated may be better in some industrial applications.
Let’s look at the benefits to both types of channels and the options available to you through Enerquip.
Our first design shows our machined channel/bonnet with standard axial/straight nozzle connections for process hook up.
This design is our lowest cost option and is the most compact design – ideal if you have limited space for the exchanger. This design, however, can be more challenging for maintenance, as you must disconnect process piping and remove the channel to access the tube bundle and gaskets.
The second design is our machined channel/bonnet with one elbowed connection.
This design may be required depending on the size of the process connection compared to the size of the unit. This design is slightly more expensive; however, it gives maintenance a bit more room to access the flange bolting and one less pipe to maneuver around for tube bundle/gasket removal.
The third design has a machined channel/bonnet with two elbowed connections.
This design is the most expensive of the machined designs; however, the extra up-front cost could potentially save you money in the long run due to maintenance costs. This option allows for installation, removal of the process connections, and servicing the unit without interference from the process piping. This leads to less down time for cleaning and repair.
The fourth standard design is a fabricated channel/bonnet with true radial connections.
This option is good for vapor applications or large liquid flow rates on the process side as the added volume in the channel allows the product to disperse prior to entering the tubes. This is also the preferred option for highly viscous products. While the most expensive option on our list, your maintenance crew will thank you when it comes time for cleaning and repair.
This fabricated design can be built in many configurations, including with elbows on the nozzles, or with a removable end plate for easy access to the tubes.
No matter your needs, the heat exchanger experts at Enerquip can tailor the design to meet your custom application or finish requirements. From the sanitary requirements of pharmaceutical units to the raw and milled industrial, we are here to take care of you.

When you’re investing in a large scale piece of industrial equipment, trusting the manufacturer is just as important as understanding the ins and outs of the machinery you’re purchasing.
You want to make sure you’re working with a knowledgeable and experienced thermal fluid heater provider that stands behind their equipment and puts their customers first.
But getting to know a manufacturer can be a bit more challenging than you’d think.
So how can you know who to trust? What characteristics should you look for to indicate that you’re working with a thermal fluid heater manufacturer who is worthy of your business?
You may not be able to learn everything about an industrial heating equipment provider before you move forward with purchasing a piece of equipment. Still, there are a few key characteristics you can look for to indicate that they will likely be a good partner to work with.
Here they are, in no particular order:
Your plant depends on the equipment you’re investing in, so you’ll want to know that it’s been developed by a knowledgeable team. Do some research to find out about the team’s experience in the industry, and assess their knowledge as you’re getting to know them. You want to feel like they know what they’re doing. If anything undermines this and leaves you feeling less than confident in their abilities, consider walking away.
Does the manufacturer have any industry affiliations? Have they won any awards or been recognized for excellence? These trust symbols are important indications that the heater manufacturers are trustworthy and contributing members of the industry community.
Curious about some of the codes and standards you should care about in the industrial heating industry? You can learn more about heating equipment codes and standards here.
Be sure that the thermal fluid heater manufacturers you’re considering are up to date with what’s going on in the industry. Are they implementing the latest and greatest techniques? Do they have a tried and true strategy that’s been working for years? In addition to being an equipment provider, they should be a resource with a myriad of industry insight.
This is a very important characteristic to look for. You want to be confident that the thermal fluid heating system manufacturer you work with is completely honest and transparent with you every step of the way. Whether you’re discussing cost, heater specifications, the delivery time frame, or anything in between, honest, open communication is key.
Talk to your allies in the industry to find out what they know about industrial heating system providers. If multiple people you trust have had positive experiences, there’s a good chance that you will too. You can also ask the heating system provider you’re considering for a list of references, and contact them to learn more about their experiences.
In addition to gathering word of mouth references, perusing reviews and testimonials from happy customers is a great way to find out what to expect from your experience working with a thermal fluid heater manufacturer.
This is fairly obvious, but it’s well worth mentioning. Another key characteristic to look for is an industrial heating equipment manufacturer’s ability to produce high quality, durable equipment. To assess this, gather feedback from those who have used their machinery in the past if you can. You want to make sure the equipment you’re thinking about investing in is up to your standards and will meet (or even exceed) your expectations.
