— and the results were encouraging: up to 13 GWh of thermal energy could be harvested annually! We evaluated two complementary technologies: a removable heat exchanger placed on top of the coils, and a water-cooled radiative panel that absorbs heat emitted during coil transfer to the yard. First-principle simulations allowed us to estimate the energy … Continue reading VITO set out to quantify how much waste heat could realistically be recovered from the hot strip mill of ArcelorMittal Belgium
