  • Publication number: 20040074238
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exhaust heat recovery system that recovers exhaust that is generated by an electrical power generator for use in supplying hot water and air conditioning, and has an object providing an exhaust heat recovery system that realizes reduced costs and has a high energy efficiency. The exhaust heat recovery system provides a heat exchanger HEX1 for exhaust heat recovery that uses the heat of the exhaust gas generated by an electrical power generator to heat a heating medium that is circulated and used in a predetermined facility, and heats the heating medium by carrying out heat exchange between the exhaust gas and the heating medium, a temperature detecting device TC2 that detects the temperature of the heating medium heated by the heat exchanger HEX1 for exhaust heat recovery, and a control valve V1 that controls the amount of exhaust gas fed to the heat exchanger HEX1 for exhaust heat recovery based on the detected results of the temperature detecting device TC2.
