Examining the Energy Saving Potential of a Dairy Enterprise Based on an Energy Audit
Öz
The share of milk and its products in terms of energy consumption in the food sector is quite high. Therefore, energy saving is really important in this sector. In this study, the energy saving potential of a dairy enterprise was examined based on energy audit. First, energy saving potential was determined with standard and target equations that were generated according to the current energy consumption of enterprise. Some measurements were made on energy-consuming devices. The devices that do not work efficiently and points with energy leakage have been determined with the measurements. Some projects were suggested for energy saving. It was determined that 332.51 TOE (tons of oil equivalent) of energy would be saved annually thanks to the suggested projects. It was also understood, with the result equation generated, that the production of the enterprise should not fall below 3810 Tons/Month in order the suggested projects to be useful in energy saving.
