Recovering waste heat is crucial for improving energy efficiency in industrial processes. As the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly solutions grows, industries are seeking various methods to reclaim and reuse the heat generated during their operations. The primary objective of this study is to explore the potential for waste heat recovery in batch centrifugal machines by analyzing their current energy consumption and waste heat generation, investigating the feasibility and efficiency of various recovery methods, assessing the potential energy savings and environmental benefits of implementing these systems, and providing practical recommendations for industries to optimize their energy use, thereby demonstrating the significant role of waste heat recovery in enhancing the overall energy efficiency and sustainability of industrial operations. Through an analysis of empirical data collected from the operation of batch centrifugal machines, this study quantifies the magnitude of waste heat generation across different operating conditions. By examining power and current values obtained from the tables, the study identifies opportunities for energy recovery and optimization. Leveraging innovative techniques, the research demonstrates how proactive waste heat management can enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in industrial operations. The findings underscore the importance of integrated approaches to waste heat management, emphasizing its role in reducing environmental impact and improving overall operational performance.
