High-temperature ceramic recuperator and combustion air burner programs. Annual report Apr 82-Mar 83

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5565735

The report describes the second-year effort of a 3-year program 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 2500/sup 0/F. The ceramic recuperator provides up to 2000/sup 0/F preheated combustion air to the high-temperature burner. Under anticipated conditions, fuel savings of up to 50 percent are achieved when compared to unrecuperated furnaces.
