The thermodynamic benefits of the integration of cogeneration installations in bakery ovens

Abstract

The present work is motivated by the need to reduce the irreversibility of the process with combustion gas in bakery ovens, especially it was analyzed the process of the mixing of the obtained gases in the combustion chamber with the recycled gases in order to achieve the necessary temperature of the flue-gas in the oven channels. There are also exposed the arguments in favor of using gas tunnel ovens in the bakery compared with the electrical ovens. There are presented the essence and benefits of the implementation of two solutions of ovens with integrated cogeneration installation.
