Summary

It is necessary to examine in depth the different heat recovery technologies, such as heat exchangers, Rankine and Brayton cycles, heat pumps, absorption cooling, expanders, burners and cogeneration systems, in order to be able to integrate the set (residual heat-recovery technology-useful flow). Using the available data of the Basque country database and other databases of thermodynamical properties, the energy and exergy of waste heat for 10 industrial sectors of the basque country has been determined. They have been classified according to their type (gases, liquid effluents and sensible heat in solids), and also according to their thermal level (from under 353 up to 1473 K). The results of the selection made for the industry of the Basque country show that of the eight studied, heat exchangers and heat pumps are the technologies with the greatest potential for application.
