High-temperature ceramic recuperator and combustion air burner programs. Annual report Apr 81-Apr 82
The report describes the first-year effort of a three-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 F. The ceramic recuperator provides up to 2000 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. Current ceramic recuperator systems and high temperature burner systems are reviewed. Industrial processes with flue gas temperatures in excess of 1900 F were identified and quantified to ascertain market potential. Conceptual designs of ceramic-recuperators and burners are developed and evaluated for four promising industrial applications.
