The Organic Rankine Cycle, for its intrinsical characteristics – first of all, the low temperature required for operation – is optimally suited to be used as the basis for heat recovery systems, designed to turn uselessly wasted heat into a valuable resource.

Zuccato Energy ORC systems are able to recover waste heat from most industrial systems involving heat, such as:

• Ovens, kilns and furnaces in metal, glass, ceramic and concrete industry;
• Boilers and steam generators in paper,chemical, and petrolchemical industry;
• Ovens, dessicators, smokehouses and frying vats in food industry as well as incinerators in animal fat rendering.

The small dimensions and power rating of Zuccato Energy ORC systems make them ideally suited for a distributed installation capable of intercepting heat right where it is generated, without any need for the costly interventions on the main systems required by large-scale plants. This simplifies retrofitting existing plants as well as increasing plant reliability. It also allows unparalleled heat recovery efficiency as it becomes possible to install on each heat dispersion point the most suitable ORC module to recover that specific type and quantity of waste heat .
