Matching heat sources and heat sinks
Temperature levels and heat flows show which waste-heat sources could match a heat demand. A practical solution also depends on operating times, transfer losses and the equipment required.
HCH Energy SolutionsLoad profile analysis & energy data
Why does energy use remain high after production stops? What causes your demand peaks? We help you find the answers in your data.
View example analysesOur approach
You want to know where your energy goes and which changes are worth pursuing. We relate your energy data to the equipment and day-to-day operation of your business.
We start with the information you already have. Together, we decide whether additional metering or monitoring would help you make better decisions.
Example analyses
Heat flows, storage, fleets and energy indicators reveal different aspects of an operation. These approved analyses are examples without client attribution. The technical assessment always reflects the individual project.
Temperature levels and heat flows show which waste-heat sources could match a heat demand. A practical solution also depends on operating times, transfer losses and the equipment required.
The widths of the flows represent annual heat quantities. The analysis distinguishes potentially usable waste heat from unused quantities and losses. Technical and economic feasibility need a separate project assessment.
Discounted cash flows show when the investment is recovered in this scenario. Payback, net present value and internal rate of return complement the storage-cycle and electricity-cost indicators. The result depends on the assumptions used.

The transition illustrates the two annual states. Intermediate positions are not measurements. Vehicles only present in one year fade in or out.
Automatic motion is disabled by your device preference. Select a year to compare the two views.
Each point relates one day's gas consumption to the daily mean temperature. Differences between autumn and spring indicate operating or other seasonal influences. The pattern helps identify questions for a closer technical assessment.
Enlarge chart↗The baseline and assessment periods are compared with the heating-degree-day driver. The reference line helps identify changes at similar conditions. A conclusion about improved efficiency requires checking other relevant operating influences.
Enlarge chart↗Storage fill level, heat demand and heat generation show how charging and discharging interact during the displayed January period. The separate lighting curve provides operating context. Fill level and thermal power use different axes.
Enlarge chart↗The displayed July period shows how storage operation changes with a lower and more variable heat demand. Read the fill level together with generation and demand. Compare patterns using the respective axis units.
