Thermochemical Recuperation for High Temperature Furnaces
One approach for utilizing the energy contained in waste heat is called Thermo Chemical Recuperation (TCR). This new technique recovers sensible heat in the exhaust gas from an industrial process, furnace, or an engine. The TCR then uses that heat to transform the hydrocarbon fuel into a reformed fuel with a higher calorific heat content and utilizes this reformed fuel for process heating.
