Abstract
This report is about the design of heat recovery system in a sheet rock plant. A sheet rock is
basically a gypsum board which is mainly used as a finish for walls, ceilings in households and
commercial buildings. According to the given problem, during summer months the city water
supplies to the manufacturing plant at a higher temperature of 900 F but during other months the
temperature of water supply as 450 F. The de mand of water temperature is 85o F for the process
so the city water is heated by natural gas burners when it’s in a storage tank. During the final
stage of sheet rock production, heated air is used in a closed oven with sheet rock for the drying
process. The air gets exhausted from aluminum stacks. This waste heat energy is being
recovered it in the form of energy with the help of specially selected heat exchanger. The energy
recovered will be minimising the need of natural gas burner which is to heat the city water
receiving at a temperature of 450 F. This would reduce the need of natural gas to use as the main
source of heating the city water for production of sheet rock. The heat recovery system would be
compatible to work for 24 hr in a 6 days week frame till 8 months. The report will include the
type of heat exchanger selected, pump for heat recovery and piping system with fittings and
be routing for heat recovery. This would also include the cost involved in the whole additional
process as installation, operational and maintenance cost with a calculated payback period of
time for investment.
