Energy Auditing and Possibility Study for Waste Heat Recovery in the Laundry Section of a Hospital
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
This paper is the outcome of a project work undertaken to conduct energy auditing and possibility study of waste heat recovery at the laundry division of a hospital. The major problem identified was the wastage of steam in the form of condensate from various elements of the plant, which has led to high operating costs of the laundry division. The paper outlines functioning of various elements of the plant like the boilers, driers, washing machines, driers and the calendering machines. The energy use pattern of the various elements of the plant has been established. The possibility of eliminating wastage of energy and reclaiming energy from the condensate is also studied. Detailed cost analysis has been performed to establish the actual monetary loss. The paper also brings out the savings in cost that can be achieved if the recommendations suggested are implemented.
