WHAT WE DO

AIR PREHEATER MANUFACTURERS

As a leading air preheater manufacturing company, Industrial Boilers America’s pre heaters are designed to heat air before any other process (for example, combustion inside an industrial boiler). The primary objective and function of an air preheater in boiler accessory is to increase the thermal efficiency of the process. Air preheaters in thermal power plants can be used alone or be used to replace a recuperative heat system, or even replace a steam coil. We specialize in manufacturing the combustion air preheaters that are used in large boilers found in thermal power stations that produce electric power from fossil fuels, waste, or other forms of biomass.

What is an Air Preheater?

An Air preheater is a piece of industrial equipment that is used as heat-exchangers that are installed in the exit flue gas duct of an industrial boiler. The function of the air preheater in a boiler is to recover the heat from the industrial boiler flue gas which increases the overall thermal efficiency of the boiler by reducing the useful heat that is lost in the flue gas. The flue gases are then conveyed to the flue gas stack at a much lower temperature, allowing control over the temperature of gases leaving the stack or chimney.

Air preheaters in boilers are of significant help by feeding in hot air, this increases the efficiency of the combustion required for steam boiler operation. Air preheaters recover heat from the flue gas, up to 60%, and use that to heat the air.  For this reason, air preheaters are of significant importance in the process of heat exchange and vital in improving efficiency through out the various industrial processes they are used in.  Air preheaters in steam power plants are one of the most important energy recovery systems.

OUR CAPABILITIES

Types of Air Preheaters

The most popular air preheaters are tubular preheaters that consist of straight tube bundles which pass through the outlet ducting of an industrial boiler and open at each end outside of the ducting.

Construction Features

Inside the ducting, the hot furnace gases pass through the preheater tubes, transferring heat from the exhaust gas to the air inside the air preheater. A fan then forces ambient air through ducting from one end of the air preheater tubes to the other end. The air inside of the tubes is then heated and emerges into another set of ducting, which carries it into the industrial boiler furnace for combustion.

Overcoming problems

The tubular air preheater ducting for cold and hot air requires more space and structural supports than a rotating air preheater design. Further, due to dust-laden abrasive flue gases, the tubes outside the ducting wear out faster on the side facing the gas current. Because of these issues, Industrial Boilers America offers only the best ceramic and hardened steel parts to help with extra support.
