4. Combustion air preheaters are similar to economists, because they transfer energy from the flue gases back into the system. In these devices, however, the energy is transferred to the incoming combustion air. • The efficiency is about 1% for each increase in the combustion air temperature by 40 ° F. • Changes in the combustion air temperature directly affect the amount of combustion air supplied to the boiler and can increase or decrease the excess air.

5. There are two main types: recuperative and regenerative air heaters, tubular or recuperative air heaters are provided in boilers of medium and small vapor production. • * Steam coil air preheaters are another type. These are used only at the beginning of the boiler to prevent low temperature corrosion. This air heater does not contribute to improving boiler efficiency, but is provided to improve availability. It will be seen that during startup, the chances of low temperature corrosion are high, and therefore the need for the steam coil air heaters is obvious.

6. Both economizer and air preheater heat recovery systems in a boiler. If it were not for these heat recovery systems, today's boilers would operate with much lower efficiency. • Problems to be taken into account when planning and retrofitting • sulphur content of the flue gas (dew point corrosion). • flue gas back pressure. • preheating effect on excess O2. • Proposed Actions • flue gas content and efficiency of the boiler • evaluate the possibility and suitable type of heating. • evaluate the economic efficiency of the necessary changes. • system retrofit will provide an average cost with fast ROI.

8. Conclusion • combustion air preheaters can improve boiler efficiency by 5%, but careful assessment and construction are required. • please SHARE this tip with others to share knowledge and increase energy efficiency awareness. • please contact me for any advice or assistance on this topic or other issues of energy management.

9. Flue Gas-Air Preheater • Facilities: • "An air preheater (APH) is a General term used for any device that is intended to heat air before another process (for example, burning in a boiler) with the primary aim being to increase the warm productivity of the process. They can be used alone or replace a recuperative heat frame or replace a steam loop. • "This article describes in particular the burning air preheater that is used in huge boilers in warm power plants that supply electricity from, for example, petroleum derivatives, biomass, or waste.

10. "The motivation behind the air preheater is to recover the heat from the boiler tube gas, which increases the warm productivity of the heater by losing the helpful heat in the tube gas. As a result, the tube gases are sent to the tube gas stack (or smoke stack) even at a lower temperature, so that the Plan of the line and the vent gas stack can be rearranged. It also allows control over the temperature of gases leaving the stack. • "Type: Tube-Type Regenerative Air Preheater The Rotating-Plate Regenerative Air Preheater Is Stationary-Plate Regenerative Air Preheater

11. Applications: • "These kind of air Preheaters are a bit easier in their design. They often seem to be large and boxy and can take up a lot of space compared to the Rotary Air preheating.

12. Advantage: • "Air preheaters replace hot air from Gas to air by a rotating grille where warm is consumed by the warming components that pass through the hot gas stream and are replaced into the ignition air stream. • http://www.maniks.com
