High temperature metallic recuperator
Abstract
The successful operation in an actual production facility of a high temperature waste heat recovery system preheating combustion air to above 1500 F is described. Operator and facility management satisfaction with the high technology recuperated box-type forge furnace and their support during the field test of this new equipment is discussed. The system shows reliable operation demonstrated fuel savings in the neighborhood of 42%, and the significant increase in product quality and decrease in furnace heat times (increase in furnace productivity).
