Residual heat exchanger
At DTC Machinery we are dedicated to providing advanced and sustainable energy solutions for industries around the world. One of the areas in which we stand out the most is in the recovery and use of residual heat, an energy source that is often underestimated, but has enormous potential to reduce costs and improve energy efficiency.
ALFA LAVAL HEAT EXCHANGERS
The Alfa Laval Micro is a compact exhaust gas heat exchanger specially designed for waste heat recovery from small gas turbines as well as small engines and clean combustion process fluids.
• Economical use.
• Smaller footprint and weight
• Cleaning possible during the operation of the engine, turbine or process.
• The output can be adjusted as per need.
• Extend the time between main cleaning, e.g. through dry running mode.
In any operation, there is almost always room to continue reducing energy consumption and related costs. The secret is to recover the energy lost as residual heat from the exhaust gases. As the pioneer in waste heat recovery, Alfa Laval has the technology and experience to help further increase your energy efficiency.
Maximizing residual heat for greater efficiency
Residual heat from exhaust gases represents an untapped energy source that can be repurposed to enhance overall system efficiency. By integrating advanced heat recovery solutions, such as Alfa Laval’s compact heat exchangers, industries can optimize their operations while minimizing fuel consumption.
This recovered heat can be effectively utilized in various applications, including steam production, heating processes, or even electricity generation through microturbines.
At DTC Machinery, we recognize the potential of residual heat and its role in sustainable energy solutions. By combining heat recovery with complementary technologies such as biogas systems and solar panels, businesses can create highly efficient energy loops that reduce dependency on conventional fuel sources.
Whether in industrial applications, district heating, or cogeneration systems, capturing and repurposing waste heat contributes to significant cost savings and lower emissions.
Investing in waste heat recovery is not just about improving efficiency—it’s about embracing a smarter, more sustainable energy strategy.

FAQs
What is residual heat, and why is it important?
Residual heat is the excess thermal energy produced by industrial processes, engines, and turbines that is typically lost to the environment. Capturing and reusing this heat improves energy efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers operational costs, making it a crucial factor in sustainable energy management.
How can residual heat be recovered and reused?
Residual heat can be recovered using heat exchangers, waste heat boilers, and cogeneration systems. This recovered energy can then be repurposed for steam production, space heating, or even converted into electricity using microturbines, enhancing overall system efficiency.
What industries benefit the most from residual heat recovery?
Industries with high thermal energy demands, such as manufacturing, power generation, food processing, and chemical production, benefit significantly from residual heat recovery. By utilizing waste heat, these industries can reduce energy costs and improve sustainability while maintaining efficient operations.
Can residual heat recovery be combined with renewable energy sources?
Yes, residual heat recovery can be integrated with renewable energy sources like solar panels and biogas systems to create a more efficient and sustainable energy model. By combining these technologies, businesses can further reduce reliance on fossil fuels and enhance their overall energy efficiency.
