Abstract
In this work, an empirical study is conducted on the waste heat recovery and moisture removal performance of an enthalpy wheel installed in an industrial waste incineration plant. The enthalpy wheel made of a metal mesh is placed in parallel with the wet scrubber of the incineration plant to exchange heat with high-temperature exhaust at 200 °C. In the enthalpy wheel, exhaust gas and external air exchange heat in the form of a counter flow, and the condensation effect is maximized by installing a water-spray nozzle at the inlet of the enthalpy wheel. Empirical data were collected over 100 days spanning July to October. To evaluate the performance of the enthalpy wheel, thermal efficiency, moisture removal efficiency, and dust removal efficiency were tested under high-temperature humid conditions. In some results, the overall thermal efficiency reached peaked at 61.2 %. Regarding moisture removal performance, the average moisture removal rate was 493 kg/h, affording an efficiency of 49.2 %. In terms of dust removal performance, the average dust removal efficiency was 79.6 %.
