|
+
* @brief Calculates energy savings from using exhaust gas (waste heat) to preheat combustion air for process heating systems.
|
|
5
|
+
* @details This calculator estimates the benefit of using waste heat from exhaust gas to preheat incoming combustion air through a heat exchanger. The calculation uses fuel properties, flue gas temperature, excess air, firing rate, airflow, and heat exchanger efficiency. The method is based on standard industrial practice for waste heat recovery in process heating systems.

|
+
*
|
|
7
|
+
* The calculation follows a top-down approach:
|
|
8
|
+
* 1. **Heat Capacity of Flue Gas** - Calculate the heat capacity of exhaust flue gas based on fuel properties and combustion parameters
|
|
9
|
+
* 2. **Heat Capacity of Air** - Determine the heat capacity of incoming air to be preheated
|
|
10
|
+
* 3. **Heat Recovered by Cold Air** - Calculate the actual heat transferred from exhaust to cold air through the heat exchanger
|
|
11
|
+
* 4. **Outlet Exhaust Temperature** - Compute the exhaust gas temperature after heat recovery
|
|
12
|
+
* 5. **Annual Energy Savings** - Determine the total energy savings over the operating period
