A multi-source platform for holistic heat recovery

VarioVAP (photo) presents a holistic multi-source solution for industrial waste-heat recovery. With VarioVAP, a wide variety of waste-heat streams can be centrally consolidated and converted into valuable fresh steam — even those previously considered uneconomical for recovery. Notably, differences in temperature, pressure or energy levels do not present obstacles to the system’s operation. This enables the full integration of diverse heat sources. The heart of the VarioVAP system consists of a plate falling-film evaporator, serving as a highly efficient heat exchanger. Each heat source, whether steam or liquid, is fed in separately, processed and converted into a joint stream of fresh steam that can then be flexibly used for production processes or external applications. The plate falling-film evaporator can operate either as a standalone heat exchanger or in combination with mechanical vapor recompression (MVR). In the latter configuration, the generated fresh steam is additionally raised to a higher energy level. Hall 12, Stand F35-02 — Gig Karasek GmbH, Gloggnitz, Austria
