Economizers

Application

Operation & Maintenance :

The hot flue gases from Boiler/ Thermic Fluid Fleater/ Furnaces, enter the Economizer vertically spread in a uniform flow proportionally across the entire Economizer with a specially designed gas distribution system.
Using this heat energy in exhaust gases, the feed water going to the boiler is heated to the desired temperature. This is a cross-flow function i.e., flue gases flow from top to bottom vertically & water passes through the tubes/ heaters horizontally, to get the best results of Heat Transfer.
The efficiency of the Economizer is considered as close as 100% since the total gas coming to the Economizer is cooled down to a pre-determined outlet temperature. Thus, maximum possible heat in the flue gas is utilized to heat the feed water, the water at elevated temperature is then fed to the boiler.
The pressure drop across the gas side/ water side is well designed and maintained to avoid any back pressure on the boilers & feed water pump. Max pressure drop across the water side is maintained at 0.2 kg/cm2, and on the gas side, it is maintained below 35 mm of WG.

  • Design suitable for various types of fuels for the boiler.
  • Compact Design with the use of gills/ fins increases the extended heating surface.
  • Staggered construction of tubes to extract maximum heat from flue gases.
  • Flue gases pass in a zig-zag way over the tube, giving maximum heat transfer.
  • Parent tube is 100% protected with Cl gills/ M.S. Fins.
  • Absolutely no chances of failure of the tube/ bends.
  • Even for M.S. finned construction, beds are kept outside the flue gas path to ensure the long life of Economizer Tubes.
  • The headers are provided with openings from both sides (LH & RH) to save the additional Cost of steam/ water piping.
  • The tendency of tube vibrations reduces due to robust construction.
  • Equipped with all operational safety.
  • The safety relief valve is easily accessible.
  • Fouling is drastically reduced by proper Gill/ Fins Configuration.
  • Costlier, but the payback period is faster.
  • Proper drain points are provided on the economizer to have better cleaning during the shutdown.
  • SAFETY FEATURE – The gas inlet box is provided with spring loaded explosion door. In case of an increase in gas pressure across the Economizer the explosion door opens and gas escapes
  • All the Mandatory, Statutory, Regularly I.B.R. Approvals Certifications are taken care of.
  • Easy availability of Spares. Efficient and most prompt after-sales service.
  • Modular Construction for easy Transport and Erection.

C.I. Gilled Tubes\ M.S. Finned Tubes

C.I. Gilled Tubes

M.S. Finned Tubes

State of Art Technology used in the construction of the economizer is of Shrink Fitting. The C.l. Gills are manufactured to a high degree of precision so as to get the best efficiency.
The duly machined C.l. Gills at close tolerance are shrink-fitted in a red-hot condition over the tubes with a specially developed shrink fitting process.
The unique design and special shrink fitting process of C.l. Gills on the tube are tested on a Shadowgraphy m/c and ensures that the contact efficiency is more than 93%.
The hair pin type ‘U’ elements are manufactured individually with highest degree of precision and specially developed engineering progress under controlled conditions.
To minimise erosion of bends in the corrosive atmosphere (Sulphur of 2% and above in flue gas) bends are covered with Cast Iron. Hot molten metal (Cl) is poured on to the bends creating thickness of 10 mm/20 mm.
This eliminates the possibility of puncturing the Economizer at the bend portion. Cast-on bends take total care of protecting bends from erosion and puncturing on bend portion.
Economizer Design ensures all these bends/ return bends are kept outside the flue gas path to ensure added safety.

    BTU Technology, with accumulated years of experience in the field of heat recovery systems,a can determine the specific type of ‘H‘ Type finned tubes which can withstand the extreme amount of temperature and environmental conditions. As a result, we have developed proprietary technology to produce a range of various sizes and lengths of ‘H‘ type finned tubes that meet all demands. The ‘H‘ Type Square fin welding provides a higher heating surface area with a compact design and contact efficiency around 87%. BTU has exceeded in the technology of welding ‘H‘ Fin Tubes. The Finning Machine is the latest state-of-the-art in the Finning Machine, designed with computer controlled indexing for accurate fin pitching in length up to 4.5 meters. With Survo motor in single configuration and offers a production capacity of 10,000 Fin Tubes per annum. The latest CD welding technology is adopted for fin welding to achieve accurate fusion and maximum contact area. The Fin Tube Welding Machine is one of a kind, not only in Maharashtra but also in India. The pairs of ‘H’-shaped M.S. fins are precisely welded to the tube surface under very careful, controlled conditions. The purpose-built welding machine ensures very precise indexing along the entire length of the tube and exact parallel attachment. The basic and detailed engineering of the complete Economizers is done on specially designed software programs.
