A process plant is producing around 0.07 m3of hot condensate from the vulcanizing tumbler per hour and the rinsing unit is producing 1.56 m3 of waste hot water per hour. Currently this condensate and hot water is being drained out without any proper usage. This paper tells us a a system for effective utilization of this waste heat energy which include a system consisting of a reservoir, temperature sensor, water level sensor, pump, valves, timer circuit, thermally insulated stainless steel pipes and hot water tank for reuse of this hot water in the mould rinsing unit. The waste hot water containing chemicals from the rinse unit will be collected and clean hot water will be recirculated to the reservoir. From the reservoir the hot water along with condensate will be pumped to hot water tank for reuse. And we will calculate the net energy usage reduction and savings for the company.
