Industrial cleaning system

Abstract

The invention relates to an industrial washing plant with at least one treatment chamber for washing objects that are dirtied with oily, greasy, or other processing residues and are treated with treatment media that require process heat for heating active washing fluids, rinsing fluids, for example, pure water or air for drying in an air flow, in order to improve the treatment result. A washing-fluid tank and a rinsing-fluid tank can be provided, and these tanks will supply the treatment chambers by means of electrical devices. Further, nearly pure fluid can be recovered from used washing fluid or rinsing fluid by distillation by means of an evaporator and re-introduced into a treatment medium. The object of the invention consists of creating an industrial washing plant that is designed in such a way that its overall operation leads to an improvement of economical and ecological balances. The object is accomplished by integrating a power/heat coupling plant into the process-heat circuit of the washing plant, in that its process-heat component takes care of the process-heat requirement of the plant and can be introduced for heating the treatment media, and in that the electrical power or current component of the power/heat coupling plant takes care of the power or current requirement of the electrical/electronic installations.
