ICCO Exchanger: Testing and Development of a Washer-Recuperator of Exhaust Gas Heat

摘要

The operation and performance testing of a washer-recuperator installed to scrub and remove heat from boiler flue gas are described. The principal uses of these heat recovery units are to provide low temperature (40 to 45 exp 0 C) heat for water heating or space heating. An industrial model has operated for two years as a demonstration of water heating capability, has proven to be reliable, and has resulted in a water heating fuel savings of 15%.
