Model SICAPH -Combustion Air Preheaters

SHARE
For some years now, the combustion air preheater (APH) is used in industry in boilers and furnaces due to its performance enhancing qualities, driven at the time by belong to the technological package of energy efficiency improvement recommended by the US Department of Energy

SICAPH preheaters designed by Soluciones Integrales de Combustión allow the transfer of heat from the gases of outgoing combustion air to the fresh air entering the burner or combustion hearth.

  • They reduce polluting emissions
  • They reduce the chimney outlet temperature
  • They save fuel
  • They are easy to maintain
  • They do not affect the operation of boilers or furnaces

Design seeks to balance parameters, such as:

  • Lowest pressure drop in order to avoid the system draft choke both on the flue and supply side
  • Higher turbulence as possible to reach thermal efficiency above this kind of systems usual average
  • Light and robust

Air preheaters for greater energy efficiency

The fresh air circulates inside the pipes while the exhaust gases circulate through the smoke chamber.
The fresh air conduction pipes are of the finned type (equipped with crimped fins on the outside of these) which increases the turbulence of the exhaust gases and the heat exchange surface of the equipment.
Fresh air finned tubes are configured in line and in compact blocks to achieve a high coefficient transmission and drastically reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases.
The gas casing is made of a premium quality cabon steel sheet suitably reinforced and arranged to avoid sealing failures.
