Energy Recovery
Economisers for heat energy recovery & transfer
Heat energy is critical to the chemical processing industry and heat recovery and reuse are central to the energy management process .
Turnbull & Scott design engineers work closely with process engineers from the industry to support this .
By Sam Rippin , Turnbull & Scott
A process engineering team approached Turnbull & Scott to design a thermal fluid economiser to capture and transfer flue gas heat to a thermal oil , replacing an old steam generator . The customer ’ s goal for the heat exchanger was to raise the heat of the thermal oil from 50 ° C to 100 ° C . The customer ’ s process engineering team were able to provide key data on the flue gas including outlet temperature from the boiler and the flow rate of the thermal oil .
