Air Preheaters: Boost Efficiency and Reduce Fuel Consumption

Air preheaters are essential components in various industrial processes, significantly improving efficiency and reducing operating costs. By preheating the combustion air before it enters a furnace or boiler, they enhance the overall thermal efficiency and minimize fuel consumption. Our range of air preheaters offers a variety of designs and capacities to meet diverse application requirements.

How Air Preheaters Work:

Air preheaters utilize the waste heat from the exhaust gases of a combustion process to preheat the incoming combustion air. This heat transfer process reduces the amount of fuel needed to achieve the desired temperature in the furnace or boiler, leading to substantial energy savings. The preheated air also improves combustion efficiency, leading to cleaner emissions.

Types of Air Preheaters We Offer:

We offer a comprehensive range of air preheaters, including:

• Rotary Regenerative Air Preheaters: These utilize a rotating wheel or drum packed with heat-retaining material (typically ceramic or metal). As the wheel rotates, it absorbs heat from the exhaust gases on one side and transfers it to the incoming combustion air on the other. This design offers high thermal efficiency and is particularly suitable for large-scale applications. Features include:
  • High thermal efficiency: Typically achieving 90% or more heat recovery.
  • Robust construction: Designed for long operational lifespan in harsh environments.
  • Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep.
  • Customizable designs: Available in various sizes and capacities to meet specific needs.
• Recuperative Air Preheaters: These utilize a stationary heat exchanger, typically made of metal plates or tubes, to transfer heat from the exhaust gases to the combustion air. They offer a compact design and are well-suited for smaller applications. Features include:
  • Compact design: Requires less space compared to rotary preheaters.
  • Precise temperature control: Allows for fine-tuning of the preheated air temperature.
  • Lower initial cost: Generally less expensive than rotary preheaters.
  • Suitable for various fuels: Can be used with different types of fuel sources.
• Tubular Air Preheaters: These feature a network of tubes through which the exhaust gases and combustion air flow, facilitating heat exchange. The design provides a large surface area for efficient heat transfer. Features include:
  • High heat transfer efficiency: Offers excellent heat exchange capabilities.
  • Durable construction: Built to withstand high temperatures and pressures.
  • Easy maintenance and cleaning: Allows for convenient access to internal components.
