Calculation of waste heat potential - Waste water / cooling water
Your data on the waste heat source
Waste water / cooling water quantity (m³ / h):
The amount of water (m³ / h) can be found in the data sheets of the system.
Current waste water / cooling water temperature (° C):
The temperature can be read on the system type plate or taken from the system documentation; alternatively, it can be measured with a thermometer.

Share of annual operating time in the partial load range (%):
Partial load operation of a system reduces the amount of waste heat. Estimate what percentage of your system is operating at partial load instead of nominal load.
For power generation, the waste heat source must be operated at rated load throughout the year.

Average system capacity in part-load operation, relative to the rated load (%):
The system output can be more or less reduced in partial load operation. Determine the respective performance of different partial load conditions and weigh them.

Your data on the intended use of waste heat
Type of waste heat recovery:
Select a waste heat utilization (or a heat exchanger in the room air conditioning system module).
Note: When using heat pumps, additional power is required.

Simultaneous operation of waste heat source and waste heat recovery system (weeks / year):
Depending on the type of waste heat used, enter the number of weeks in which the available waste heat can be used.
For any heating support, the waste heat can only be used during the heating season for the building.

Cost estimates
Fuel price:
Gas: Net price per kWh (see invoice)
Fuel oil: 1 l of fuel oil contains approx. 10 kWh of energy => Net fuel oil price per liter (see fuel bill) divided by 10 gives the price to be entered per kWh.
Interest rate: interest rate to be paid on a loan
Payback Period: Time period within which the waste heat utilization facility is depreciated.
