High-Temperature Ceramic Recuperator and Combustion Air Burner Programs - Market Potential and Economic Analysis. Topical Report April 1981 - October 1983

摘要

The summary covers a portion of a comprehensive study performed for the development of a ceramic recuperator and its companion high-temperature preheated combustion air burner. The system is designed to operate in a variety of industrial flue gas streams with exhaust temperatures up to 2500F. The ceramic recuperator provides up to 2000F preheated combustion air to the high-temperature burner. Current ceramic recuperator ad high-temperature burner systems were reviewed. Industrial processes with flue gas temperatures in excess of 1900F were identified and quantified to ascertain market potential. Conceptual designs of ceramic recuperators and burners were developed and evaluated for four promising industrial applications.
