Air Preheater

An Air Preheater is a critical component in thermal power plants and industrial boilers, designed to improve energy efficiency by preheating the combustion air using waste heat from flue gases. This process enhances fuel combustion, reduces emissions, and increases overall system efficiency.

Types of Air Preheaters

1. Tubular Air Preheater ( Recuperative ) – Consists of a series of tubes where flue gases pass over or through the tubes, transferring heat to the incoming air.

2. Plate Type Air Preheater – Uses plates to separate air and flue gases, facilitating heat transfer.

Applications in Industry

  • Oil & Gas Industry – Stores crude oil, diesel, gasoline, and other petroleum products.
  • Chemical &  Petrochemical Industry – Holds acids, solvents, and various industrial chemicals.
  • Food & Beverage Industry – Stores edible oils, dairy products, and beverages.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry – Used for liquid medicines, distilled water, and chemical storage.
  • Water Treatment Plants – Stores treated and untreated water for industrial and municipal use.
  • Power Plants – Holds fuel, cooling water, and lubricants for turbines and generators.

Benefits of Air Preheaters

  • Energy Savings – Reduces fuel consumption by utilizing waste heat.
  • Improved Combustion Efficiency – Warmer air ensures better fuel combustion.
  • Lower Emissions – Reduces carbon footprint by decreasing unburnt fuel particles.
  • Enhanced Boiler Performance – Supports stable and efficient boiler operations.

Materials Used

  • Carbon Steel (for standard applications)
  • Stainless Steel (for corrosion-resistant applications)
  • Alloy Coatings (for high-temperature resistance)

Maintenance & Challenges

  • Corrosion & Fouling – This can occur due to acidic flue gases and particulate accumulation.
  • Leakage Issues – Proper sealing and maintenance are required to prevent efficiency losses.
  • Mechanical Wear & Tear – Regular inspections help in prolonging the lifespan of components.
