storage sections, each referred to as a regenerator.

Flue gases and combustion air take turns flowing through each regenerator, alternately heating the storage medium and then withdrawing heat from it. For uninterrupted opera- tion, at least two regenerators and their associated burners are required: one regenerator is needed to fire the furnace while the other is recharging. Payback Period = (Cost of combustion air preheating system, obtained from the supplier or contractor) ÷ (Reduction in fuel usage, Million Btu/hr x Number of operating hours per year x Cost of fuel per Million Btu) Example A furnace operates at 1,600°F for 8,000 hours per year at an average of

10 million British thermal units (MMBtu) per hour using ambient temperature combustion air. At $9 per MMBtu, annual energy cost is $720,000. Use of preheated air at 800°F will result in 22% fuel savings, or $158,400 annually. The preheated air system installation is estimated to cost $200,000 to $250,000, with a simple payback period of

15 to

19 months. Payback Guidelines Process temperature is customarily used as a rough indication of where air pre- heating will be cost effective. Processes operating above 1,600°F are generally good candidates, while preheated air is difficult to justify on processes operat- ing below 1,000°F. Those in the 1,000? to 1,600°F range may still be good candidates but must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. These guidelines are not ironclad. Financial justification is based on energy (or Btu) saved, rather than Preheated Combustion Air For fuel-fired industrial heating pro- cesses, one of the most potent ways to improve efficiency and productivity is to preheat the combustion air going to the burners. The source of this heat energy is the exhaust gas stream, which leaves the process at elevated temperatures. A heat exchanger, placed in the exhaust stack or ductwork, can extract a large portion of the thermal energy in the flue gases and transfer it to the incoming combustion air. Recycling heat this way will reduce the amount of the purchased fuel needed by the furnace. Many processes produce dirty or corrosive exhaust gases that will plug or attack heat exchangers. Some exchangers are more resistant to these conditions than others, so if your process is not a clean one, do not give up without inves- tigating all the options. When discussing it with potential vendors, be sure to have a detailed analysis of the troublesome materials in your exhaust gas stream. Fuel savings for different furnace exhaust gas temperature and preheated combus- tion air temperatures can be found in the table on page

2 and can be used to estimate reductions in energy costs. There are two types of air preheat- ers: recuperators and regenerators. Recuperators are gas-to-gas heat exchangers placed on the furnace stack. Internal tubes or plates transfer heat from the outgoing exhaust gas to the incoming combustion air while keeping the two streams from mixing. Recuperators are available in a wide variety of styles, flow capacities, and temperature ranges. Regenerators include two or more separate heat Energy Tips―Process Heating Process Heating Tip Sheet #1c INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM Suggested Actions Using current or projected energy costs, estimate preheated air savings with this example or the Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST) available from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program.

If a low temperature process has a high enough exhaust gas flow, energy savings may still exist, even though the exhaust gas temperature is lower than 1,000°F. 工业技术项目 助燃空气预热 对使用燃料的加热工艺来说,提高能效和 生产能力的最有效的方法之一就是对进入 燃烧炉的助燃气体进行预热.工艺系统排 出的废气具有较高的温度,可用来预热助 燃空气.安放在排气管和排气管道系统中 的换热器可以从烟气中吸取大部分的热 能,并将它转移到助燃空气中.这样, 通 过热力的回收利用,锅炉需要的燃料量将 会降低. 许多工艺会排出很脏的或有腐蚀性的废 气, 这些废气会堵塞或损坏换热器;

但有 些换热器抵抗废气的能力要好于其他换 热器. 因此即使工艺排出的废气不干净, 也不要放弃对所有可能性的探索. 在与潜 在的设备商进行洽谈时, 确保对废气中所 有可能带来麻烦的成份进行一次详细的分 析. 右表中列出在不同废气温度和不同的助燃 空气温度下,可以实现的燃料节省量.该 表也可以用来估算能源成本节省量. 有两种空气预热器,一种是传热型余热回 收器,另一种是蓄热型余热回收器.传热 型余热回收器是气体到气体的换热器, 通常放置在炉体上.该回收器内部管道将 向外流动的废气中的热量转移到向内流动 的助燃气体中,与此同时,避免两股气体 的接触和混合.传热型余热回收器有多种 不同的模式,流量大小和温度范围.蓄热 型余热回收器包括两个以上的单独的蓄热 区,每一个蓄热区都是一个余热回收器.

而对于运行温度低于538摄氏度(即1000 华氏度)的系统,则不太适用.对于运行 温度介于538摄氏度(即1000华氏度)和871摄氏度(即1600华氏度)之间的工艺 系统,他们可以考虑使用预热空气,但是 必须对具体情况进行具体分析. 这些指导原则并不是一成不变的.对经济 效益的考虑应该基于节能量大小而不是温 度的差别.如果一个低温工艺系统有很高 且足够的废气,这个工艺系统仍然有能源 节省量,哪怕废气温度已经低于538摄氏度 (即1000华氏度)了.
