The Heat Harvest: Comprehensive Guide to Energy Recovery
About this audiobook
The challenge of energy efficiency is no longer about finding new fuel sources; it is about maximizing the value of the energy we already use. Every factory exhaust plume, every cooling tower rejection, and every warm water drain represents a massive, continuous thermal energy loss—or, as this book frames it, an untapped resource.
The Heat Harvest is a practical, principle-driven guide for engineers, facility managers, and sustainability professionals to identify, quantify, and monetize these streams of waste heat. Drawing upon decades of global experience, this text moves beyond simple thermodynamics to explore the integration of cutting-edge technologies—from high-temperature recuperators and Combined Heat and Power CHP systems to advanced heat pumps and Thermal Energy Storage TES solutions.
This journey is a testament to the fact that the cleanest, cheapest energy is the energy we stop wasting.
