What is the working of economizer in a boiler plant?
Economizer is a device in which the waste heat of the fuel gases is utilized for heating the feed water.
What is power cogeneration?
Power cogeneration is a method of energy conservation. Specifically, it refers to the process of increasing the efficiency of our energy delivery processes by utilizing wasted heat energy. For example, hot water is an unused product of electric power plants (water is used for cooling purposes). In certain countries, like the US, this hot water is dumped into lakes or rivers. Instead, that hot water can be redirected to heat homes, like in most countries in Europe. This is doubly effective because electricity is used to heat most homes in America, and if we take advantage of waste heated water, we can cut down on our electricity consumption.
