Thermal energy recovery systems capture this waste heat and convert it into useful energy for heating, power generation, or other applications. Technologies such as heat exchangers, regenerative burners, and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are commonly used for this purpose. Implementing thermal energy recovery not only lowers operational costs but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability and industrial competitiveness.<br /><br />Al-Mustaqbal University – The No. 1 Private University in Iraq
