Is Waste Heat a Loss or an Asset? Rethinking the Conventional Wisdom of Factory Infrastructure

For decades, manufacturing has generated a form of energy that is often simply discarded. When air compressors produce compressed air, most of the input energy is released as heat. The same is true for paint lines, welding processes, and other production-support systems. As long as a factory is o...
