Objective
ABOUT 50 000 JUNGSTROEM ROTATING HEAT EXCHANGERS ARE IN USE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD OPERATING AT TEMPERATURES UP TO 500 DEGREES C. THE AIM OF THE JAMES HOWDEN PROJECT IS TO EXTEND THE APPLICATION OF THE HEAT WHEEL TO HIGHER TEMPERATURES. THIS WOULD BE USED TO RECOVER THE WASTE HEAT FROM AN ALUMINIUM REMELTING FURNACE FOR PREHEATING COMBUSTION AIR. A MAXIMUM OF 705 DEGREES C IS SPECIFIED, GIVING A PREHEAT TEMPERATURE OF 600 DEGREES C.
THE RESEARCH PROGRAMME INCLUDES THE INSTALLATION OF A SINGLE TRIAL PREHEATER OPERATING ON TWO ALUMINIUM REMELTING FURNACES AT ALCAN PLATE LTD., BIRMINGHAM.
THE PROGRAMME AT PRESENT HAS COVERED THE MEASUREMENT OF GAS FLOWS, TEMPERATURES, GAS ANALYSIS, DUST BURDENS AND FLOW PATTERNS.
THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY THE RECESSION IN THE ALUMINIUM INDUSTRY IN THE U.K. THE ORIGINAL PROJECT (NO. 386-78 EEK) WAS FORMALLY STARTED IN 1979 WITH ALCOA. HOWEVER, BEFORE THE HARDWARE WAS PUT ON ORDER THE ORIGINAL USER CANCELLED AND CLOSED THE FURNACE. ALCAN PLATE, THE MEW PARTNER, HAS CUT BACK PRODUCTION DUE TO LOW DEMAND FROM THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY, AND THIS IS DELAYING WORK ON THE CURRENT CONTRACT.
