Energy Supply Versus Energy Demand

  • First Online:
Water and Energy Use in Sanitary-ware Manufacturing

Abstract

In Sect. 6.11.2, a cogeneration plant was proposed in order to reduce the primary energy consumption by recovering exhausting gases towards other thermal consumers. Nevertheless, it is not so easy to size related equipment due to the variability of the demand. The way the machinery demands energy depends on multiple factors;

  • heating and ventilation units are led by set points of temperature and humidity within the casting hall

  • ambient air conditions are quite different along the year for both, temperature and humidity

  • solar irradiation varies from zero to maximal values on a daily basis

  • psychrometric condition of a ware dryer are very different in just a 10-hour cycle

  • heating power for a shuttle kiln ranges 0–1,200 °C in a 15-hour cycle.
