Description
Residual heat electricity is power generated by utilizing waste heat produced during industrial processes or electricity generation. A key device for residual heat electricity generation is the waste heat boiler. It uses the thermal energy or combustible substances in waste gases, waste liquids, or other media as heat sources to produce steam for electricity generation. This dataset was compiled by merging data from multiple sources.
Activity Description
The waste heat power generation process includes waste heat recovery, using thermal energy to heat water and generate steam. This steam is then delivered to a steam turbine, driving the turbine rotation to generate electricity. It covers energy and auxiliary material consumption during the power generation process, as well as the treatment of by-products and waste generated.
Process Description
Waste heat power is electricity generated by utilizing waste heat produced during industrial processes or power generation. A key device in waste heat power generation is the waste heat boiler. It uses the heat or combustible substances contained in exhaust gases, waste liquids, or other working fluids as a heat source to produce steam for power generation.

Technology comment
Waste heat electricity generation technology consists of two main components: waste heat recovery and electricity generation. Waste heat is collected through heat exchangers or waste heat boilers, and then this heat is used to produce steam or hot water, which drives steam turbines or other electricity generation equipment to generate electricity.
