This study examines a drying process for paint-drying ovens with actual operating data. This process is one of the most energy consuming processes in the manufacturing process of a company that produces propeller shafts in Manisa. This paper aims to determine the energy and exergy belts on a sectoral basis in light of the examined company and make an efficiency analysis. As a result of the analysis, the exergoeconomic values are calculated as the energy loss/cost ratio in current fresh air temperature is Ren: 7.368 W/$, exergy losses/cost Rex: 0.318 W/$, and the total energy need is reduced by 13.25%.
