Ash deposition is a key factor that deteriorates the heat transfer performance and leads to higher energy consumption of low pressure economizer working in low temperature flue gas. In order to study the ash deposition of heat exchange tubes in low temperature flue gas, two experiments are carried out with different types of heat exchange tubes in different flue gas environments. In this paper, Nusselt Number Nu and fouling factorεare calculated to describe the heat transfer characteristics so as to study the ash deposition condition. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used for the analysis of ash samples obtained from the outer wall of heat exchange tubes. The dynamic process of ash deposition is studied under different temperatures of outer wall. The results showed that ash deposition of heat exchanger will achieve a stable state in constant flue gas environment. According to the condition of condensation of acid vapor and water vapor, the process of ash deposition can be distinguished as mere ash deposition, acid-ash coupling deposition, and acid-water-ash coupling deposition.

The ash deposition on low-temperature heat transfer surface is a key factor that deteriorates the heat transfer performance and leads to corrosion in the low pressure economizer. In the low temperature flue gas, ash deposition is closely related with acid condensation. The sulfuric acid vapor and water vapor contained in the flue gas will condense on heat transfer surface under low flue temperature, which will aggravate ash deposition. In order to evaluate the influence factors of ash deposition on low-temperature heat transfer surface, a laboratory experiment is carried out in this paper. The acid concentration of flue gas, the ash content, the ash component, the flue temperature and the temperature of heat transfer surface are considered to be the most important influence factors on ash deposition characteristics. The viscosity of ash deposition samples on the outer wall of the double-pipe is measured to describe ash deposition characteristics. The fouling factor is calculated. Meanwhile, the scanning electron microscope SEM is used to the analysis of ash samples obtained from the outer wall of the double-pipe. As conclusion, the changing regulation of viscosity of ash deposition on low-temperature heat transfer surface is obtained. (CSPE)

Domestic heat exchangers, even though widely used in industry, are not adequate for studies on low-temperature flue-gas use technologies. Despite spite their limitations, very few theoretical models have been investigated based on practical applications. Moreover, most of the existing studies on heat exchangers have focused particularly on one-dimensional and two-dimensional heat transfer models, while limited studies focus on three-dimensional ones. Therefore, this study aims at investigating the thermal performance of a low-temperature flue-gas heat recovery unit in the cold regions. Specifically, this study was conducted in the context of Changchun of Jilin Province, China, a city with the mean ambient temperature of −14 °C and mean diurnal temperature of −10 °C during winter. Experimental results showed that the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger was higher than 60%. Through assessing the heat exchange coefficient and heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, it is found that the thermal efficiency had been improved up to 0.77–0.83. Furthermore, the ICEPAK software and the standard k-ε RNG turbulence model were used to carry out simulations. The velocity and outlet temperature of fresh airflow and polluted airflow were simulated through setting different inlet temperatures of fresh air and polluted air inlet. Numerical results further indicated that the flow state was laminar flow. The micro heat pipe array side had small eddies and the heat transfer was significantly improved due to the flow of air along the surface of the micro heat pipe.

Vacuum freeze-drying technology is applicable to the process of high heat-sensitive products. Due to the long drying period and extremely low processing temperature and pressure, the uniform and efficiency of heat transfer fluid temperature in shelf are critical for product quality. Therefore, in this study, the commercial computer fluid dynamics (CFD) software, FLUENT, was utilized for three-dimension numerical simulation of the shelf vacuum freeze-drying process. The influences of different inlet and outlet positions for shelves on the uniformity of the flow rate and temperature were discussed. Moreover, it explored the impacts on the temperature gradient of shelves after heat exchange of different flow rates and low temperature materials. In order to reduce the developing time and optimize the design, the various secondary refrigerants in different plies of shelves were investigated. According to the effect of heat exchange between different flow rates and low temperature layer material shelves on the temperature gradient of shelves surface, the minimum temperature gradient was 20 L/min, and the maximum was 2.5 L/min.

Abstract The formation of deposits on heat exchange surfaces of combustion equipment causes a decrease in heat exchange, a decrease in power, and consequently deterioration in the economic balance of combustion equipment. The technology of French company A. I. T. DRIVEX has been developing and being applied in practice for many decades. Preventive technology is used as a mean reagent periodically injected during operation into the combustion chamber. Part of the application is always pre-prepared project resolving the location of the injection nozzles into the combustion chamber on the flue gas path. The article describes the experimental usage of reagent GEPERSUITE 2200 at the Sermaize refinery in France. The aim of the test is to evaluate the benefits and advantages of applied technology in the boiler refinery in full operation. The results clearly demonstrate that using the reagent GEPERSUITE 2200 is advantageous in terms of economic and technical properties.

This paper primarily focuses on the analysis on the heat exchange part’s flow field of the jet plug-in hot blast furnace, and comprehensively considers the temperature field aiming at obtaining the velocity and pressure distribution of the air and flue gas in each part of the heat transfer. Heat exchange mainly takes advantage of thermal convection about high temperature flue gas of the hot blast furnace and air, the flow situation of which have the direct effects on the heat exchange result in the heat transfer. The authors implemented the numerical simulation on flow field of the jet plug-in hot blast stove in heat transfer by using the method of finite element analysis. The conclusion of this paper provides the basis for the further enhancement of the machine life and optimization of the structure design.

Abstract The paper deals with a study of the effect of regulating elements on local values of heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces with forced air convection. The use of combined methods of heat transfer intensification, i.e. a combination of regulating elements with appropriately shaped heat exchange areas seems to be highly effective. The study focused on the analysis of local values of heat transfer coefficients in indicated cuts, in distances expressed as a ratio x/s for 0; 0.33; 0.66 and 1. As can be seen from our findings, in given conditions the regulating elements can increase the values of local heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces. An optical method of holographic interferometry was used for the experimental research into temperature fields in the vicinity of heat exchange surfaces. The obtained values correspond very well with those of local heat transfer coefficients αx, recorded in a CFD simulation.
