Lever 3
KappaQ-Energy Recovery
The third lever, ‘Recovery’, is dedicated to the topic of energy recovery.
After all, recovered and reused residual energy massively reduces the primary energy requirement. One of the central energy resources in ventilation technology is the recovery of waste heat from the exhaust air flow. Heat recovery makes it possible to utilise energy that would otherwise be dissipated and lost. This saves heating energy and costs. This is because the energy that can be recovered no longer needs to be generated.
Our recommendation
- Use your company's experience and draw on the expertise of Kappa Filter Systems to identify all the options for recovering energy and waste heat.
- Work together to determine how the recovered energy can be used most efficiently and visualise the savings effects of energy recovery.
Case study
Energy recovery
A foundry asked us to plan the primary and secondary dedusting for the entire casting operation. During our work, we showed the customer that there is a lot of energy in the cleaned exhaust air.
Based on this, we developed a concept for how the waste heat could be recovered and reused economically. In addition to the actual heat recovery, the key also lay in the upstream, high-grade separation of the emissions contained in the exhaust air. With the overall concept, the customer ensures optimum collection, removal and separation of the fine dust produced and, at the same time, an energy-efficient supply of fresh air throughout the foundry hall.
Results
- A total of 2,340,000 kilowatt hours of waste heat are recovered each year.
- This corresponds to an annual CO2 saving of 1,712,800 kilograms and the annual CO2 capture of 137,030 adult beech trees.

KappaQ-Energy is the energy-saving concept for minimising the energy costs of ventilation systems.
It illustrates which factors influence the energy requirements of ventilation and air-conditioning systems and which levers make it possible to reduce energy consumption permanently and sustainably.
