Objective
Industrial development of compact gas-gas heat exchangers for heat recovery from fumes and hot gases in industry and heating installations.
Implementation of a compact gas-gas heat exchanger as a way of recovering heat from the flue gases of a 2 MW industrial heater to preheat the combustion air at the Penarroya Plant in Noyelles Godault. This cross flow heat exchanger is made by stacking perforated plates. Its exchange area is 40 square meters with a volume of 0. 415 cubic meter. The average recovered power is approximately 150 kW. The pressure drops are respectively 1000 and 650 PA for the flue gases and the combustion air. The average gas saving is 8,3%.
