• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Conclusion
• combustion air preheaters can improve boiler
  efficiency by 5, but careful assessment and
  construction are required.

• 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.
