Measures for improving energy efficiencyin foundries – possible objectives in EffSAFound

Reduction of amount of metal and melt per casting

Optimization of casting design, e. g. thinner walls Optimization of pouring system and feeders

Minimization of energy consumption in melting and pouring shop

Old or new types of furnaces; melting control Laddle heating System melting furnace - pouring station

Waste heat usage

Minimization of energy consumtion in other foundry shops

Optimization of waste air collection, e. g. avoiding of quartz dust exposure

Non foundry technology specific measures, e. g. compressed air system

Cutting the peaks

= minus 5 - 23 % energy costs

Heating of laddles

System melting furnace - pouring station

Pouring furnace: more constant temperature

Additional energy consumption: 20 – 30 kWh/t

Temperature of the melt = Pouring temperatur plus 50 - 70 K

Temperature of the melt = Pouring temperatur plus 20 K

Waste heat and latent heat storage

A phase change material (PCM), e. g. sodium acetate, is a substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at a certain temperature, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy

Heat is absorbed or released when the material changes from solid to liquid and vice versa; thus, PCMs are classified as latent heat storage (LHS) units.

90°C >> 40°C = 2.3 MW/h;

Temperatur loss per day = <0.5%

ORC (Organic-Rankine-Cycle) process

The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a thermodynamic process similar to a conventional steam cycle but using a different media to drive the turbine. ORC systems use high molecular organic fluids instead of water.

ORC modules represent an efficient and reliable way to generate electrical power with relatively low temperatures. Since more than a decade such systems operate safely in many places worldwide in a range form a few kW up to 2 MW.

ORC module pre-assembled and ready for delivery
