  • Publication number: 20170191704
    Abstract: The present application relates to a heat recovery apparatus and method. According to the heat recovery apparatus and method, low-level heat sources at a temperature less than 100° C. discharged from industrial settings or various chemical processes, for example, a petrochemicals manufacturing process are not wasted but used to generate steam and the generated steam is used for various processes to reduce an amount of consumed high-temperature steam that is an external heat source to be used for a reactor or distillation column, thereby not only maximizing energy reduction efficiency but also autonomously producing power consumed by a compressor. Also, an evaporation phenomenon of a part of a refrigerant flow which passes through the compressor may be reduced, thereby recovering heat with excellent efficiency.
