flue gas exchanger

 

A flue gas exchanger is a preheating system used, for example, in boilers where exhaust gases are used to increase the temperature of the incoming air stream by reducing the thermal difference. Thus, the same boiler can achieve the same result using less energy.

In these recovery systems we can find different systems, such as air-air, air-gas or air-exhaust fumes systems, and also using other methods, such as air-water or air-steam systems. For example, in wood dryers.

These systems are important to take advantage of all our industrial resources and use surplus industrial energy to reduce our consumption and be more responsible for the environment.

At Boixac Tech we have air-to-air exchangers that can work with high temperatures, high pressures, dusty and corrosive environments.

Economizer for greenhouses

by

ECONOMIZER FOR GREENHOUSES GREENHOUSES AND FARMS An economizer for greenhouses or farms refers to the heat recovery system designed to improve efficiency in an environment where, among other things, crop performance is optimized by controlling temperature, ambient humidity, and CO₂. Within the wide range of implementations, we highlight three main areas: 1. The first block refers to water treatment for the hydroponic growth of tomatoes, lettuces, peppers, strawberries, etc. Hydroponic cultivation allows plants to grow faster and more vigorously thanks to direct access to nutrients. These nutrients are dissolved in a water flow that is distributed to the plants through channels. For proper nutrient absorption, it is important to maintain the water within certain temperature ranges, which is achieved thanks to our finned tubes. This heat exchange system can use spiral fins or continuous fins following the same direction as the tubes, maintaining a homogeneous temperature and optimizing both plant growth and quality. 2. The second block is air treatment through overhead ducts, where BOIXAC provides the finned heat exchangers that condition the air in the greenhouse or breeding farm. These exchangers can include various accessories such as fans, humidity controls, and temperature controls. 3. The third block refers to the technology that enriches the environment, thus increasing photosynthetic activity. We achieve this by reusing the excess energy from exhaust gases through the ECO, AIRY, or GASY heat recovery systems. These thermal exchange units are selected based on primary and secondary fluids; in addition, the materials are also chosen according to the specific needs of each installation. Custom solutions for energy optimization in greenhouses and farms. Heat recovery systems for greenhouses and farms Water coil Water coil that is often used to condition the environment of greenhouses and breeding farms, improving animal welfare. Energy economizer Energy economizer or heat recovery system that allows the reuse of excess energy, for example, from biomass boilers. Finned heat exchanger Finned tube heat exchanger, a temperature control system that optimizes durability even in environments with certain contamination factors.

Heat exchangers in the energy industry

ENERGY INDUSTRY HEAT EXCHANGERS FOR ENERGY OPTIMIZATION Heat exchangers are a very important product in the optimization of energy transformation processes, whether in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants or hydroelectric power plants, among others. Let’s dive deeper into the uniqueness of each of these systems below: 1. In thermal power plants, heat exchangers are used to transfer heat generated by fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas to a fluid such as superheated water or steam. This fluid reaches high pressures and drives a turbine that generates electricity. As the fluid drives the turbine, it cools and we condense it using a new heat exchanger we call a condenser. Once condensed, we reuse the fluid to heat it with fossil combustion and generate energy again. In thermal power plants we could find cogeneration plants which, in addition to producing heat, generate electricity, as well as trigeneration plants, which, in addition to producing heat and electricity, generate refrigeration energy, which means greater energy efficiency and sustainability. 2. In nuclear power plants, heat exchangers are essential to control the temperature of the reactor with the help of a coolant. The heat transfer fluid absorbs the heat and transmits it to a steam generator which will convert the energy into electricity. This coolant, once cooled, will return to the start to start the process over. Beyond this aspect of operation, heat exchangers are also used as a preventive measure in diesel engines with the aim of controlling a possible electrical shutdown. There are many other models of energy generation, all with very particular singularities that we will analyze in other articles. Beyond the explanatory brushstrokes we have made, all projects require in-depth analysis and a highly experienced professional team. If you have any needs, contact us, we are at your disposal. Heat recovery for the energy industry Gas heat recovery Heat recuperator that economizes with the use of exhaust gases from boilers, turbines or combustion engines used for example in cogeneration. More efficiency and less emissions. Counter flow heat exchanger Cross-flow heat exchanger, usually between a stream of fumes or gases and another of air, without them mixing. With a design that is easy to clean and maintain. It is ideal for the energy, oil and gas sector. Steam heat exchanger Coil of tubes designed to convert saturated or wet steam into dry, superheated steam, usually by steam turbines for electricity generation. They can withstand temperatures of up to 950ºC.
