Recording of machine waste heat loads and testing of waste heat utilization at HÖRMANN Automotive St. Wendel GmbH

Overview

Location: Sankt Wendel, Saarland, Germany
Project duration: 1 month
Energy consumption: approx. 6.1 GWh

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully carried out the recording of machine waste heat loads and the testing of waste heat utilization for HÖRMANN Automotive St. Wendel GmbH. The aim was to reliably record waste heat sources, prioritize main consumers and identify reportable systems in accordance with the Energy Efficiency Act.

Project content

Sifting through and preparing the consumer list

Structured review and preparation of the consumer list. Creation of a consistent data basis for further recording and evaluation.

Prioritization of the installations to be recorded

Evaluation and prioritization of the installations according to expected waste heat loads. Focused measurement campaign with clear priorities.

On-site recording using a thermal imaging camera

Measurement-based recording of waste heat loads directly at the installations. Identification of hotspots and verification of existing data.

Evaluation and derivation of waste heat output

Analytical evaluation of the measurement data and derivation of the waste heat output per system. Quantification of the waste heat potential with approx. 400 MWh/a as a basis for measures.

Consolidate results and prioritize main consumers

Consolidation of the results into an overall picture. Prioritization of the main waste heat consumers for targeted efficiency and utilization approaches.

Examination of waste heat utilization and regulatory reconciliation

Evaluation of possible utilization options for the recorded waste heat. Comparison of potentially reportable systems for the site in accordance with the Energy Efficiency Act.

Transparent documentation

Traceable documentation of the methodology, results and priorities. Basis for decisions and further planning steps.
