Paper Machine Heat Recovery Systems

Heat recovery, as an important part of the RunEco solution, cuts down papermaking energy costs radically because the system reuses heat to replace primary energy sources. 

Main benefits

  • Improved overall heat recovery output and energy efficiency
  • Solutions suitable for both new installations as replacements
  • Optimized and continuously monitored running conditions

Heat recovery

  • Normally includes air to air or air to water heat exchangers
  • Supply air preheating, fresh and white-water heating, machine hall heating, roof heating and hood exhaust humidity control
  • Improves overall heat recovery output and energy efficiency
  • Suitable for both new installations as replacements
  • Optimized and continuously monitored running conditions

Existing paper machine dryer section exhausts are normally connected to a heat recovery system. These systems may be of different configuration, based on mill location, original process connections and even year of installation.

Installations being used for many years and even decades may today also be in poor mechanical conditions, with decreased heat output and even leakages as a result.

Runtech Heat Recovery solutions are always tailor-made and thus suitable for all these kinds of installations, both for completely new additional heat recovery installations as well as for needed one-to-one maintenance replacement rebuilds.
