  3. Abstract:
  4. The rising cost of energy and the global warming in recent years have highlighted the need of more advanced systems with higher efficiency and less gas emissions. Consequently, plenty of researches have done on waste heat recovery and renewable sources of energy recently. The target of the present research is feasibility study of heat recovery in automobiles' paint ovens and designing an efficient system to use the lost energy. Research has been carried out on the theory, evaluating the amount of lost and available energy through Thermodynamics and heat transfer principle and choosing applicable design and construction of heat exchanger, especially for their use in ovens for energy recovery, reduction of air pollution and environmental conservation. Experimental measurements were done for data gathering in the case study of ovens in paint shop of Iran Khodro Industrial which is the oldest and biggest automotive corporation in the Middle East. Based on a feasibility study, a system to use this recovered energy was designed. This is then followed by cost analysis of this project which showed economical benefits of the project. The investment return period of the project is also determined
