Areas of improving energy saving and the environmental situation in the processing and food industry In Ukraine are relevant, as technologies and equipment by their nature and degree for efficient use of fuel resources are practically achievable for their improvement, especially today. The purpose of the study is to improve the methodology for the optimisation of the mode of reuse of the thermal potential of exhaust process gases in the implementation of a two-stage cooling process. The indicators of process gas emissions with a volume consumption of 0.54 m3 /s and temperature – 1600°C with the parameters of the furnace operation A2-SHBG were used to construct local temperature characteristics. Their construction is carried out based on the heat balance and heat transfer at short surface intervals, considering the parameters of coolant flows. The results were analysed by the Flow Vision software suite under the structure of the graph, according to the laws of thermodynamics. A method for calculating the amount of cold heat agent for reuse in the technological process is proposed. It is established that under the accepted heat exchange conditions, the required amount of atmospheric air with an initial temperature of -300°Ccan be heated to a temperature of +640°C, and with an initial temperature of +300°C, can be heated to +1450°C. Natural gas consumption will change from 20 m3 / h, without preheating atmospheric air, up to 12.7 m3 /h when heating atmospheric air in the heat exchanger at an initial temperature of + 300°C. It is stipulated that when calculating energy resource savings, it is necessary to consider the initial temperature of the cold heat agent when using the heat of exhaust process gases. The proposed method for calculating the optimal heat recovery mode allows calculating changes in the consumption of the primary fuel and energy resource and creating a database for the effective implementation of energy-saving technologies when reusing waste gas heat into production
