Possibilities of process heat recovery on a hot-dip galvanizing technological line
Aleksander Iwaniak, Adam Tatarek
Conducted was an analysis of a possibility to recover the process heat from a model hot-dip galvanizing technological line. It has shown that it is possible to recover energy from a galvanizing plant work both during summer and winter periods. The process heat recovery is possible for three technological nodes: zinc coating furnace, cooling tank and charge waiting area between galvanizing and unforming. Proper utilization of the process heat enables reduction of its losses and increases economic efficiency of the whole hot-dip galvanizing process.
