AirWave: Combating Fouling and Corrosion in Waste Gas Heat Recovery

AirWave Wide Gap Welded Heat Exchangers: Combating Fouling and Corrosion in Waste Gas Heat Recovery

In industrial processes, waste gas heat recovery plays a crucial role in energy conservation and environmental protection. However, traditional heat exchangers often face challenges due to the complex impurities and dust particles present in waste gases, leading to fouling, corrosion, and reduced heat transfer efficiency. "AirWave" wide gap welded heat exchangers address these issues head-on, offering a superior solution for waste gas heat recovery applications.

The Challenge of Fouling and Corrosion in Waste Gas Heat Exchangers

Waste gas streams often contain a variety of contaminants, including soot, ash, and particulate matter. These impurities can accumulate on the heat exchanger's surfaces, hindering heat transfer and reducing efficiency. Moreover, the corrosive nature of certain waste gases can lead to material degradation and premature equipment failure.

Traditional heat exchangers, with their narrow flow channels, are particularly susceptible to fouling and corrosion. The constricted passages make it easier for contaminants to adhere to the surfaces, while the close proximity of the plates increases the risk of corrosion. This results in frequent maintenance downtime, increased operating costs, and potential safety hazards.

 AirWave: An alternative  solution in Waste Gas & Flue Air Heat Exchanger Technology

AirWave wide gap welded heat exchangers are designed to overcome the limitations of traditional heat exchangers, offering a robust and reliable solution for waste gas heat recovery. The key to AirWave's success lies in its unique design features:

  • Wide Flow Channels: AirWave features exceptionally wide flow channels, significantly reducing the risk of fouling. The ample space between the plates allows contaminants to pass through freely, preventing them from accumulating and obstructing heat transfer.

  • Smooth Plate Corrugation: The smooth wave pattern on AirWave's plates minimizes surface area, further reducing the potential for contaminant adhesion. This smooth design also enhances self-cleaning capabilities, allowing for easier removal of any residual impurities.

  • Welded Construction: AirWave's welded construction eliminates the need for gaskets, which are prone to degradation and leakage. This robust design ensures long-lasting performance and minimizes maintenance requirements.





The Benefits of  AirWave Wide Gap Welded Heat Exchangers

The advantages of SHINEHEAT's AirWave wide gap welded heat exchangers extend beyond their ability to combat fouling and corrosion. These innovative heat exchangers offer a range of benefits that make them an ideal choice for waste gas heat recovery applications:

  • Enhanced Heat Transfer Efficiency: The wide flow channels and smooth plate corrugation of AirWave promote laminar flow, leading to improved heat transfer efficiency. This translates into higher energy recovery and reduced operating costs.

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: AirWave's resistance to fouling and corrosion minimizes the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance. This translates into significant savings in labor and downtime expenses.

  • Extended Equipment Lifespan: The robust welded construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure a long service life for AirWave heat exchangers. This reduces the need for premature replacements and associated capital expenditures.

  • Simplified Maintenance: The wide flow channels and smooth plate design of AirWave make cleaning a breeze. High-pressure water jets can effectively remove any residual contaminants, minimizing downtime and maintenance efforts.

SHINEHEAT's AirWave wide gap welded heat exchangers represent a significant leap forward in waste gas heat recovery technology. Their unique design features effectively combat fouling and corrosion, resulting in enhanced heat transfer efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and an extended equipment lifespan. As industries strive for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, SHINEHEAT's AirWave stands as a game-changer, paving the way for a cleaner and more efficient future.
