Abstract— Nowadays, the demand for energy has increased in parallel with the increasing world population and the necessity to provide diversity in energy supply has emerged. It is of great importance to ensure energy efficiency and to improve waste heat recovery applications in sectors where energy is used intensively in supplying this energy demand and supply diversity. How much more energy if the benefit is reduced to that amount of production costs and emissions, emission caused environmental problems by reducing wastes, imply avoided. In this study, the evaluation of waste heat generated by steel production with basic oxygen furnace by absorption cooling system is investigated. In this study, theoretical analysis and inference method was used. The obtained results showed that the energy thrown into the atmosphere as a waste heat is evaluated with the right methods and it contributed positively to the environment, production costs and yield.
