An Experimental Study on Latent Heat Recovery of Exhaust Wet Flue Gas

The experiment was conducted to investigate the heat transfer performance of wet flue gas in a vertical tube. The factors influencing the convective condensation of wet flue gas were experimentally investigated. The measured results indicate that the convective heat transfer of bulk flow and condensation heat transfer of vapor have significant contribution to the total heat transfer and the dominant transport mechanism is dependent upon the vapor fraction in mixture.     

Condensation heat transfer on tubes in actual flue gas

In order to improve boiler efficiency, latent heat recovery from flue gas is a very important concept. Condensation heat transfer on horizontal stainless‐steel tubes was investigated experimentally by using an actual flue gas from a natural gas boiler. The experiment was conducted at different air ratios of the flue gas and a wide range of tube wall temperatures. The condensation pattern was similar to a dropwise condensation near the dew point. By decreasing the wall temperature, the wall region covered with a thin liquid film increased. The heat and mass transfer behavior was well predicted with the analogy correlation at the high‐wall‐temperature region. At the low‐wall‐temperature region, the total heat transfer was higher than that predicted by the analogy correlation. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(2): 139–151, 2001     

Condensation heat transfer on tubes in actual flue gas (Parametric study for condensation behavior)

In order to improve boiler efficiency, latent heat recovery from the flue gas is a very important concept. Condensation heat transfer on horizontal tubes was investigated experimentally by using flue gas from a natural gas boiler. The parametric studies concerning the effects of tube stages, gas velocities, SO₂ in the flue gas, and Teflon‐lined tubes were conducted at a wide range of tube surface temperature. The heat transfer was enhanced at the second stage due to the wake turbulence of the first stage. No significant decrease of the condensation in the second stage due to the condensate falling from the first stage could be observed. Even at the high gas velocity condition, the condensation pattern was similar to that observed in previous low gas velocity experiments. The effect of SO₂ in the flue gas on the condensation behavior could not be observed. The heat and mass transfer behaviors on stainless‐steel and Teflon‐lined surfaces were well predicted with the analogy correlation. The above results suggested that the heat and mass transfer were dominated by the convection and diffusion process on the gas side. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An experimental study on vapor condensation of wet flue gas in a plastic heat exchanger

An experimental system investigating condensation heat transfer of wet flue gas was set up, and the heat transfer performance of vapor‐gas mixture with vapor condensation was discussed. The experimental results of laminar flow in a plastic longitudinal spiral plate heat exchanger were obtained and are in good agreement with the modified classical film model. It is shown that the plastic air preheater can avoid acid corrosion in the low‐temperature field for the boiler using fuel containing sulfur and recover latent heat of the water vapor of the wet flue gas. Also some SO₂ was scrubbed during the vapor condensing process in the heat exchanger. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(7): 571–580, 2001

Experimental study on titanium heat exchanger used in a gas fired water heater for latent heat recovery

In general, latent heat recovery is usually accompanied by the corrosion of the heat exchanger, which is caused by the strongly acidic condensate when the temperature of the flue gas is lowered below the acid dew point. The present study has been conducted to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics in a titanium heat exchanger with excellent corrosion resistance used for waste heat recovery with the condensation arranged in a gas fired water heater. In addition, the thermal efficiency of the gas fired water heater was evaluated based on the net calorific value at the maximum rated output during latent heat recovery from the exhaust flue gas. Parametric studies were conducted for the flue gas flow rate, inlet temperature and mass flow rate of the supplied water, respectively. Different arrangements of the tubes of the heat exchanger including in-line and staggered configurations were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the thermal efficiency of the gas fired water heater with a latent heat recovery (LHR) heat exchanger was enhanced by about 10% compared with conventional instantaneous water heaters, i.e., water heaters without heat recovery. In addition, in terms of the Nusselt number and the Sherwood number, the heat and mass transfer performance of the staggered tube bank type were approximately 50% and 10% higher than that on the in-line tube bank type when the Reynolds number of the flue gas was 10³.     

Theoretical prediction of sulfuric acid condensation rates in boiler flue gas

Prediction of acid condensation has a critical role in designing heat exchangers to recover water vapor from power plant flue gas. Rates of mass transfer for condensation of sulfuric acid vapors onto heat exchanger tubes were theoretically investigated and a computer program for numerical simulations of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was developed. Governing equations based on mass and energy balances for the system were derived to predict variables such as flue gas exit temperatures, cooling water outlet temperatures, and molar fractions and condensation rates of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The associated equations were solved using an iterative solution technique and a one dimensional finite difference method with forward differencing. The Controlled Condensation Method (EPA Method 8B) was applied to experimentally obtain concentration profiles of sulfuric acid vapor in flue gas along downstream in the system. Predicted results of sulfuric acid vapor condensation were compared with empirical data for model validation, and the discrepancy is analyzed in terms of measurement and computation uncertainties. It is found that from both modeling and test results sulfuric acids as well as water vapors are reduced and separated in condensing heat exchanger due to mass transfer with condensation in flue gas. The modeling methodology described here is applicable to theoretical prediction of sulfuric acid and water condensation in full scale flue gas condensing heat exchanger applications.
