No Cost
- Set appropriate operating temperatures for part load operations to avoid long "soak" or overheating. This action can save up to 10% of current energy use.
Good Investment
- Use adequate and optimum insulation for process heating equipment and conduct regular repair and maintenance of insulation. These measures can save between 2 and 15% of current energy use.
- Use direct natural gas firing instead of indirect steam heating. This measure can save 33 to 45% of the energy used by a process heating system.
- Use improved materials, design and applications of load support such as fixtures, trays and baskets, to reduce nonproductive loads. These upgrades can save up to 25% of a system's energy usage.
