Around 94% of the energy consumed by an air compressor is converted into heat. Without a heat‑recovery system, this paid‑for energy is simply released into the atmosphere - forcing your facility to use even more energy to remove it through cooling. At the same time, many plants spend substantial resources generating hot water, space heating, or steam.
Heat Recovery captures this waste heat and turns it into usable energy, reducing overall consumption and operating costs.
Recovered heat can be used throughout your facility - for heating process water or air, preheating steam systems, producing sanitary hot water, or supporting any application that requires heated or preheated water.
With a heat recovery system from Ingersoll Rand, the heat generated by the compressor can be re-used, providing the following benefits:
✓ Significant savings in energy costs
✓ Extremely short payback time – typically less than a year
✓ Lower CO2 emissions
✓ Turnkey solutions
✓ Easy installation and operation
✓ Small footprint
✓ No impact on the compressed air supply
✓ High reliability
