Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, energy efficiency applications and corresponding energy saving results were evaluated in a Turkish fabric dyeing factory. The relationship between energy consumption and the production were evaluated by regression analysis. They were detailed with energy intensity index (EII), cumulative sum values (CUSUM), specific energy consumption (SEC), and radar chart. The energy efficiency efforts should be initiated from heat and electrical energy, which are the main energy types extensively used in the textile industry. Average energy consumption value of the last four years (2015–2018), which is 7134 TOE is reduced 49% including waste heat, flash steam and cooling water recovery, and insulation in dyeing machines, in the factory due to the implementation of the energy saving actions. Accordingly, a reduction of 25% SEC value is possible. Moreover, production planning has a significant impact on the total energy consumption in terms of full load capacity operation of the dyeing machines, which may cause 23% energy saving that is of great importance.
