An Indian Proverb
Only when the last tree is cut.
Only when the last river is polluted.
Only when the last fish is caught.
Only then will they realize that
you cannot eat money.
Energy Efficiency
• Energy Efficiency – Energy Saving
• Two phrases that are most confusing.
• Energy Saving
is reduction of energy consumption
with one or multiple measures,
resulting in foreseen reduction or change in
quality, quantity, comfort, safety etc.
• Energy Efficiency
is reduction of energy consumption
while producing the same quantity
in the same quality.
(…or more in higher quantity)

Energy in the Industry
• Energy is used in two major forms in the industry:
• Electricity
• Heat
• Many of the electricity consuming processes
are heat sources by themselves.
• A good portion of electricity consumption is
caused by heat production or distribution.
So there’s no possibility of a real reduction of energy intensity
without taking both into consideration.
• Energy intensity
• It’s basically the ratio of energy consumption with production.
• Calculated as TOE of energy consumed per 1,000 USD sales revenues.
• As example: Energy intensity of several countries

• Efficiency Increasing Projects (EIPs)
Optimization Projects:
With no or limited investment costs
easily applicable by the industrial facility itself.
Example:
Temperature setting in an office:
1°C means 10%

Improvement Projects:

implemented on the existing process.

pipes:

year are possible.
Energy in the Industry
• Efficiency Increasing Projects (EIPs)
Upgrading Projects:
With varying investment costs
resulting in higher, sustainable energy efficiency changes.
Example:
Economizer integration to an
existing steam boiler:
5% or more saving can
be achieved without
further costs.
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• Heat Recovery
• It’s one of the most applicable methods of energy efficiency increase.
• Anything carrying excess heat is the source disregarding its
temperature:
• Discharged hot water from any process heater
• Ovens (heat-recovery from multiple points possible)
• Condensate return of the steam system
• Boiler’s flue gases

• Losses of a boiler
• Chimney losses
• Cooling losses
• Chimney losses occur only when the burner is running.
• Cooling losses occur
• Stand-by losses:
During stand-by on a fixed temperature
(when the burner is off)
• Radiation losses:
During the operation
(when the burner is running)
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• Radiation losses are relative to
• Dimensions
• Water volume
• Weight
Stand-by and
radiation losses Chimney losses
Fuel losses
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• The cooling losses are the sum of radiation and stand-by losses.
Burner running : Radiation losses 1,2%
Burner off : Stand-by losses 0,8%
Total cooling losses are
2% in average.
• During the operation of the burner, combustion and chimney losses are
happening.
Chimney losses : 7%
Combustion losses : 7%
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• Stand-by losses are depending on stand-by duration
• No stand-by means
• No stand-by losses.
• They are less than chimney losses.
Stand-by losses are in positive relation with boiler outshell area per kW
power
Higher boiler power has relatively less area.
• The ratio between chimney and stand-by losses:
in 70 kW 1:3
in 1000 kW 1:5
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• Combustion can affect both chimney and stand-by losses.
• In best way, the combustion is realized without any interruptions while
changing the capacity: Modulation
On – Off Operation Operation with modulation
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• Capacity modulation
• Boilers and burners are selected for the peak load.
• Normally they are running on lower capacities.
• In case of an on/off controlled burner, partial loads cause
very high cycling frequency!
Efficiency Increasing Projects
• Every cycling (on/off) causes

• Combined Heat and Power Generation
• Cannot be understood in the scope of energy efficiency.
• On the other hand it’s an important method of cost reduction.
• CHP basically allows to switch
from one energy source
to another.
• Important primary energy savings
and reduction of CO2 emissions
are generated

• Combined Heat and Power Generation
• Is a CHP system applicable in my industrial facility?
• If a facility needs
