Cooling from heat The energy efficiency of waste incineration
plants has become more important than ever. The production of
cooling from heat has now provided an additional reason. When
operators talk about the merits of their waste incineration
plants they often like to mention the disposal reliability they
guarantee for the particular areas they serve. They can always
be relied upon, both in summer and winter. That is one aspect of
their work: the other one is unrelated to the pure disposal of
waste. And that is when they often start to speak of electricity
and district heating. By Stephan Peter Krafzik "The main thing
is to exploit the energy contained in the waste as efficiently
as possible," says Carsten Stäblein, Chairman of the Board of
the major German waste disposal company E.ON Energy From Waste.
That sounds good but is not so simple to implement in practical
terms. Waste incineration plants require a sufficient number of
connections per square kilometre in the heating network to make
provision fina
