Heat loss calculations and energy consumption economic analysis of a textile factory with waste steam recovery

Energy is one of the main factors affecting the economic, political and social development of the world countries. Especially in developing countries, the demand for energy is increasing due to the increasing population, industrialization and technological developments. With this increase, countries want to reach energy easily, cheaply and uninterruptedly. Thus, countries have turned to alternative energy sources and systems where they can use energy more efficiently. Applications for such systems are becoming widespread in our country. Especially in the industrial sector with high energy consumption, the recovery of flue gas waste heat is one of these applications in order to use energy more efficiently. In this study, the evaluation of the energy consumption of a dyeing plant in a textile factory in 2020, the effect of the existing steam boilers on the energy consumption of the enterprise, the replacement of the existing system with a new steam boiler, the application of the waste heat recovery system, the application of jet insulation on the dyeing machines. and non-insulated heat loss studies were carried out.
