Recuperators are the most widely used heat recovery devices. 3. Regenerators. These are basically rechargeable storage batteries for heat. A regenerator (Figure 12) is an insulated container filled with metal or ceramic shapes that can absorb and store relative- ly large amounts of thermal energy. During the operating cycle, process exhaust gases flow through the regenerator, heating the storage medium. After a while, the medium becomes fully heated (charged). The exhaust flow is shut off and cold combustion air enters the unit. As it passes through, the air extracts heat from the storage medium, increasing in temperature before it enters the burners. Eventually, the heat stored in the medium is drawn down to the point where the regenerator requires recharging. At that point, the combustion air flow is shut off and the exhaust gases return to the unit. This cycle repeats as long as the process continues to operate. For a continuous operation, at least two regenera- tors and their associated burners are required. One regenerator provides energy to the combus- tion air, while the other recharges. In this sense, it is much like using a cordless power tool; to use it continuously, you must have at least two batteries to swap out between the tool and the recharger. An alternate design of regenerator uses a continu- ously rotating wheel containing metal or ceramic matrix. The flue gases and combustion air pass through different parts of the wheel during its rotation to receive heat from flue gases and release heat to the combustion air. 4. Use of waste heat boiler. Use of a waste heat boiler to recover part of the exhaust gas heat is an option for plants that need a source of steam or hot water. The waste heat boiler is similar to con- ventional boilers with one exception: it is heated by the exhaust gas stream from a process furnace instead of its own burner. Waste heat boilers may be the answer for plants seeking added steam capacity. Remember, however, that the boiler generates steam only when the process is running. Not all processes are candidates for waste heat recovery. Exhaust volumes and temperatures may be too low to provide financial justification, but if the exhaust temperature is above 1,000°F, waste heat recovery is worth investigating.
