| Abstract | Studies on energy use at the Bangkok Glass factory, where a
360 tons of glass are produced each day, have been carried out.
Energy auditing has been done in the thermal energy utilization
unit . Break downs of energy consumption have been made. Energy
analysis and availability analysis are applied to the melting
units which are the most significant energy consumers. Both the
first and second law efficiency of the melting units have been
investigated. The important energy losses have been identified.
Feasible energy conservation measures are applied. Use of waste
heat instead of electrical energy to reduce oil viscosity can
save about 1. 13 million baht/year. The cogeneration feasibility
has been also investigated. The payback period of the
cogeneration is less than 4 years while the system gives an
internal rate of return of higher than 32 %. |
