A technical report with recommendations on how to increase the temperature grade of waste heat recovered from klystron cooling systems.
The report investigates how changes in cooling design and operation can raise outlet water temperature without compromising safe operation, performance, or equipment lifetime.
Higher-temperature waste heat is more valuable and easier to reuse, for example, in heating networks. This creates new opportunities for energy recovery in research infrastructures and beyond.
Final technical report based on simulations and experimental measurements.
It provides a practical knowledge base for moving from low-grade waste heat to more useful and recoverable thermal energy. If your facility operates high-power cooling systems, use these recommendations to explore whether your waste heat can become a resource instead of a loss.
