Abstract
A great part of the total energy consumed all over the world is discharged as waste heat into the environment; part of this waste heat can be recovered by proper equipment if user demand matches it. The quality, defined mainly by the temperature value and the quantity of the waste heat, and their profiles versus time must match the user demand if energy recovery is to be significant from both the technical and economic points of view. Storage of waste heat is an expensive and not very effective approach with limited capability, and little used (water and steam storage, refractory material storage systems, etc.; see Chapter 4.7).
