SIGNIFICANT ENERGY USAGE AND ENERGY SUPPLY ISSUES IN BAKERIES

Анотація

Enterprises in the food industry are significant consumers of fuel and energy resources (FER), and the issue of saving thermal and electrical energy in this sector is particularly relevant. Among food industries, those producing sugar, oil, alcohol, bread, and similar products are the most energy-intensive. In particular, in the baking industry, a large amount of fuel is consumed in the process of bakery ovens. For baking 1 ton of bread, between 50 to 65 kilograms of fuel is required. However, the useful efficiency of using this fuel is only from 30% to 32%, and from 30% to 60% of the heat is emitted as waste into the atmosphere.
