Recovering Heat Saves Energy, LOWERS COSTS

摘要

Noted American philosopher and author Henry David Thoreau once quipped, "First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe... Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it." Thankfully, technology and ingenuity have helped address Thoreau's concerns for greater harmony between human ambition and our energy use. Compressed air, often referred to as the fourth utility along with the Big Three - electricity, gas and water - is frequently utilized as a means to power applications throughout the manufacturing process. Technological advances, coupled with rising energy costs, have in recent years enabled - and, in many cases, required - manufacturers, much to Thoreau's point, to make compressed air a more valuable and appreciated commodity.
