Waste heat entering industry is a resource that, under the right conditions, can be usefully managed. One of the simplest and most effective methods of managing it is to use it in other or the same industrial process during which it is generated . In practice, this can be achieved by, for example, directing the hot gases into a raw material drying process, a blowing-up process or the use of recuperative and regenerative heat exchangers.
An example of the use of waste heat for drying raw materials is in cement works, where flue gases and/or hot excess air from clinker cooling are directed to drying raw materials , which in Poland are characterised by high moisture content (7 - 9%) , and thus a high demand for drying heat.
