Process of Air pre-heater
An air pre-heater (APH) is a general term to describe any device designed to hbefore another process (for example, combustion in a boiler) with the primaryincreasing the thermal efficiency of the process.
There are two types of air pre-heaters for use in steam generators in thermal postations: One is a tubular type built into the boiler flue gas ducting, and the othregenerative air pre-heater.
Ambient air is forced by a fan through ducting at one end of the pre-heater tubother end the heated air from inside of the tubes emerges into another set of duwhich carries it to the boiler furnace for combustion

There are two types of regenerative air pre-heaters: the rotating-plate regeneraheaters (RAPH) and the stationary-plate regenerative air pre-heaters.
Rotating-plate regenerative air pre-heater

The rotating-plate design (RAPH) consists of a central rotating-plate element iwithin a casing that is divided into two (bi-sectortype), three (tri-sector type) (quad-sector type) sectors containing seals around the element.
In stationary-plate regenerative air pre-heaters the heating plate elements are a
in a casing, but the heating plate elements are stationary rather than rotating.

Economizer
Economizers are mechanical devices intended to reduce energyconsumption, or to perform another useful function such as prehefluid.
Economizer performs a key function in providing high overall bothermal efficiency by recovering low level energy from the flue git is exhausted to the atmosphere.
Economizer recovers the energy by heating the boiler feed water.

It scavenge the waste heat from thermal exhaust flue gases by passingexhaust effluent through heat transfer surfaces to transfer some of thewaste heat to a process media.
It Efficiency is in direct relationship to equipment design and stack gavelocities.
Velocity increases through the stack as firing rate increases, which resin a decrease in contact time with the economizer heating surfaces

BOILER BASICS
The hot water or steam under pressure is then usable for transferring the heat frequirements of process industries or for power generation.
During the combustion process, oxygen reacts with carbon, hydrogen and othein the fuel to produce a flame and hot combustion gases.
As these gases are drawn through the boiler, they cool as heat is transferred to
The main components in a boiler system are boiler feed water heaters, deaerat

Heat Exchangers
Heat Exchangers are classified according to their function and geometry:
Function:
Recuperative: two fluids separated by a solid wall
Evaporative: enthalpy of evaporation of one fluid is used to heat or cool the othe
Regenerative: use a third material which stores/releases heat
Geometry: 1. Double Tube 2. Shell and Tube
3. Cross-flow Heat Exchangers 4. Compact Heat Exchangers

Heat Exchangers
The heat transfer rate for most heat exchangers can be calculated using the LM(Log Mean Temperature Difference), if the inlet (T1) and outlet (T2) temperatuknown:
U = Overall heat transfer coefficient [ W/m2-oC ]

Cross flow and compact heat exchangers
Cross-flow and compact heat exchangers are used where space is limited. Themaximize the heat transfer surface area.
Commonly used in gas (air) heating applications.
The heat transfer is influenced by whether the fluids are unmixed (i.e. confinechannel) or mixed (i.e. not confined, hence free to contact several different heasurfaces).
In a cross-flow heat exchanger the direction of fluids are perpendicular to each
8/10/2019 aph PRESENTATION.pptx

Compact heat exchangers
In Compact heat exchangers, the heat transfer rate is directly related to press
Advantages:
very small
Ideal for transferring heat to / from fluids with very low conductivity or whtransfer must be done in very small spaces
Disadvantages:
high manufacturing costs
very heavy
Extremely high pressure losses.

In Counter flow
LMTD = ((Th1Tc2)- (Th2Tc1)) / ln ((Th1Tc2 ) - ( Th2Tc1 ))
= ((200-70)(160-40)) / ln ((200-70)/ (160-40))
= (130-120) / ln (130/120)
= 10 / ln (1.083)
= 10 / 0.0797
LMTD = 125.47oc
8/10/2019 aph PRESENTATION.pptx
16/42
Actually this economizer is a cross flow economizer so, the LMTD equation b
(LMTD)cross= F X (LMTD)counter
Here F = correction factor
It is calculated by using graphical method by using dimension parameters P, Z
P= (Tc2-Tc1)/(Th1-Tc2)
P= (70-40)/ (200-70)
P= 0.2307

)
Z= (200-160)/ (70-40)
Z= 1.33
From this values we get F = 0.98 (from graphically,pgno:31)
So we have multiplied the counter flow LMTD with correction factor F
get LMTD of cross flow
(LMTD) cross = F X (LMTD) counter
= 0.98 x 125.47
= 122.96oc

From heat transfer equation we calculate the area of economizer as follows
Q = UA Tmx F
Here F = Correction factor F = 0.98
A = Area of Economizer
A = (627 x 1000) / (850 x 125.4 x 0.98)
A = 6.01 m2
U = 850 w / m2oc (from tables)

From Average velocity in the tube and discharge we Calculate total flow area
m = A u
Here m = mass of water
A = Tube flow area
U = velocity of flow = 0.2 m/sec
A = 5 / (1000 x 0.2)
A = 0.025 m2
8/10/2019 aph PRESENTATION.pptx

The above area is equal to actual crosssectional area of tube
0.025 =n x /4 x d2
0.025 = n x 3.14 x (0.025)2/ 4
n= 50
From Equation 1 the area is 17.47 m2
Then the total surface area in 2 tube pass is given below
2ndL = 6.01
L = 6.01/(2 x 0.025 x 3.14 x 50)
L = 76 mtrs

Z = 70/60
Z = 1.16
From this values we get F = 0.94 (from graphically)

From continuity equation
Q = A1 X V1
