Abstract

The of researches results of exergy efficiency and optimization of parameters of different types gas heaters by used for anticorrosion protection of gas exhaust ducts of heating boiler plants equipped with exhaust gas heat recovery systems are presented. The choice of a complex technique for analyzing the efficiency of gas heaters, which makes it possible to obtain functional dependences of the selected efficiency criteria on the geometric parameters of the heat exchange surface of gas heaters for solving optimization problems is substantiated. Such a technique can be a technique based on exergy methods and statistical methods of experiment planning theory. This technique by an insignificant number of initial parameters required for calculation, and by the simplicity of calculation and analytical methods for obtaining exergy characteristics is characterized. The work considered three types of gas heaters: water-heating (water-gas) and two gas-heating (gas-gas) pipe and plate type. The heat exchange surface of the water-heating gas heater is assembled from transverse-finned bimetallic (steel base and aluminum fins) pipes, gas-heating pipe-type - from steel pipes with circular turbulators flow, and gas-heating plate-type - from smooth steel plates. The general system of balance equations used in this complex technique, and also its the basic stages, are presented. It is noted that the choice of complex criteria for assessing the efficiency of gas heaters is carried out according to the degree of sensitivity of the criteria to changes in the operating and geometric parameters of gas heaters. Using the proposed sensitivity coefficient, the degree of sensitivity of different efficiency criteria has been analyzed and it has been established that one of the most sensitive to changes in the geometric parameters of the heat exchange surface of gas heaters is the heat-exergy criterion. The results of the corresponding calculations for each of the three gas heaters are presented. It has been established the most exergetically effective is a water-heating gas heater, followed by gas-heating gas heaters, of plate and tube types respectively.
