Research on the Utilization of Exhaust Gas Heat for Boilers

The exhaust heat loss of the power plant boiler can account for more half of the boiler heat loss, exhaust gas temperature is 110~160 °Ccommonly, so the exhaust gas heat can be used to reduce the coal consumption, raise the economic benefits. Before and after the desulfurization tower of a 350 MW unit, there installs two plate heat exchangers, heating condensation water respectively, which can improve the thermal efficiency. With two heat exchangers working under the design conditions, a test was carried out based on a 350 WM unit simulation system in order to test the influence of system for unit operation characteristics. Referring to the data, the investment of the heat exchanger can achieve 2.68 g/kWh coal saving during the non-heating period and 0.2531 g/kWh during the heating period.
