In most cases Boiler flue gases leave at considerable extreme temperature taking away valuable heat. This heat is recovered by putting in an easy Heat Recovery Unit (Water Pre-heater). This heat is utilized to heat the Boiler Feed Water.By installing an easy Heat Recovery Unit, fuel consumption is generally reduced by 4–6 %. Each five degree increase in feed-water temperature can offer an potency improvement of 125th.
Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) may be a easy shell & tube type Heat ex-changer sized for:
The volume and temperature of flue gases.
* Pressure drop across it
* Fuel utilized in the boiler
* Quantity of warmth to be recovered
* Properly designed Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) has the power to cut back the fuel needs of a boiler by transferring heat from the exit flue gases to the feed water. but flue gas cooling below Sulphur dew-point isn’t best for top sulphur fuels to avoid corrosion & erosion of apparatus.
