Show during on-peak hours. To fully utilize this potential, however, will require storage times of several hours as opposed to the shorter (15-minute) intervals normally encountered in the pulp and paper industry applications. SUMMARY A number of applications exist in the industrial sector where TES allows reject heat to be utilized within the industrial process to displace purchased energy. Generally TES is applicable where there is a temporal mismatch in the supply and use of heat. Thus applications having a batch - type heat source and/or intermittent heat use are primary candidate^ for utilizing TES in an energy recovery system. Applications where the process exhibits wide variations in heat demand also are suitable candidates for TES technology. Presently, the limited use of TES technology•is primarily concentrated to the pulp and paper industry. Other applications have been proposed and in general exhibit acceptable economic benefits.
