How It Works
Adding a Heat Recovery Unit to your Wenger dryer is an excellent first step toward reducing energy consumption while maintaing proper energy transfer within the dryer, and without a significant increase in physical space requirements. In some situations, it may be possible to install one HRU to function with more than one dryer, achieving greater savings.
Additionally, adding a high temperature heat pump along with the HRU enables reduction - or complete omission - of carbon emissions, improved fuel flexibility, and decreased energy costs. Contact Wenger for more information about effective and sustainable solutions for decarbonizing horizontal dryers.
