INVESTIGATION OF THE USE OF WASTE HEAT OBTAINED FROM HIGH PRESSURE CRUDE OIL PUMPS IN CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS

The fact that 83% of energy needs are met from fossil fuel resources, their negative effects on the environment and human health, and the energy crises experienced in the global market have pushed humanity towards the efficient use of energy and renewable energy sources. In this study, the provision of central heating in a pressurization station with waste heat recovery is investigated. Nowadays, with the heat recovery systems in the facilities, great gains have been achieved both in terms of cost and in the effects on human and environmental health without the need for fossil fuel energy sources. Great energy savings can be achieved by recovering waste heat from both flue gases and engines in the plants. Renewable energy sources and waste heat recovery are of great importance to reduce the effects of global warming, protect the ecological balance and reduce the negative effects on human health.
