Energy Recovery

The Solex SIGMA series cooler removes heat from bulk materials indirectly with water. When hot bulk solids materials are cooled in the Solex cooler the heat that is transferred to the water produces hot water that can be used elsewhere in a facility. The hot water exiting the Solex cooling system can be utilized for purposes such as boiler feed water

Due to the fact that the Solex cooler is capable of cooling large volumes of very high temperature bulk solid materials (up to 1000°C) the cooler can recover a significant quantity of heat in the form of hot water.

The Solex ALPHA series heater can also be used to recover waste heat available elsewhere in a facility and  use that energy to heat a bulk material.
