Abstract: Waste heat recovery (WHR) systems are gaining major importance in modern industries due to increasing energy demand, rising fuel costs, and environmental concerns. Large amounts of heat generated in industrial processes are released into the environment without being utilized. Waste heat recovery systems help capture and reuse this thermal energy, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This review paper discusses the principles, technologies, applications, advantages, challenges, and recent developments in industrial waste heat recovery systems. Various recovery methods such as recuperators, regenerators, heat exchangers, heat pipes, economizers, and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems are reviewed. The paper also highlights industrial applications in cement, steel, glass, chemical, and power generation sectors. The study concludes that effective implementation of WHR systems can significantly contribute to sustainable industrial development and energy conservation.
