Ceramics for heat-exchanger applications in high-temperature corrosive flue streams. Appendix A. Topical report, April 1984-May 1986
The topical report reviews the use of heat exchangers in high-temperature corrosive flue streams and the accomplishments of the work GRI is funding in the area. Traditional and state-of-the-art heat exchangers are discussed with regard to their benefits and limitations on plant operations. High-temperature furnaces and flue environments are reviewed to show how heat-exchanger efficiencies can be improved and what corrosive conditions must be resisted by component materials. The new ceramic materials (silicon nitride, silicon carbide, composites) are discussed to indicate their application to heat-exchanger construction. Design considerations and life-cycle testing of components are reviewed, pointing out the different problems that must be overcome with ceramic versus metal components. The report concludes with a review of work on eight GRI contracts directed toward applying ceramics to heat-exchanger developments.
