Abstract
A system for recycling energy in a production plant includes a distillation device configured to generate a heated vapor in response to distillation and a system configured to recycle heat from the heated vapor back into the production plant. The system for recycling heat can include a fin-fan heat exchanger and a compressor or a heat pump with a heat exchanger configured as an evaporator and a heat exchanger configured as a condenser.
