Record 5 2008-01-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steam-Powered Machines and Condensers
  • Thermoelectricity and Thermoelectronics
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A device for utilizing the waste heat from boilers to preheat incoming feed-water, thus raising the overall thermal efficiency of the plant.

CONT

An economizer comprises banks of tubes placed in the path of the flue gases as they pass to the chimney, after the superheater, but before the air preheater.

CONT

Modern-day boilers, such as those in coal-fired stations, are still fitted with economizers [...] In this context they are often referred to as feedwater heaters and heat the condensate from turbines before it is pumped to the boilers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines à vapeur et condenseurs
  • Thermoélectrique et thermoélectronique
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
DEF

Échangeur servant à échauffer l'eau d'alimentation d'une chaudière à vapeur au moyen de la chaleur restant dans le gaz de combustion après leur sortie de la chaudière.

CONT

L'économiseur est un réchauffeur d'eau, mais en même temps, et essentiellement un récupérateur de chaleur.

Record 6 2007-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
  • Steam-Powered Machines and Condensers
  • Thermal Power Stations
DEF

A component of a steam-generating unit that absorbs heat from the products of combustion after they have passed through the steam-generating and superheating sections.

CONT

Heat recovered from the gas is recycled to the furnace by the combustion air and is absorbed in the steam-generating unit, with a resultant gain in overall thermal efficiency... Air heaters frequently are used in conjunction with economizers, because the temperature of the inlet air is less than that of the feedwater to the economizer...

CONT

Air heaters are usually classed as recuperative or regenerative types. Both types depend upon convection transfer of heat from the gas stream to a metal or other solid surface and upon convection transfer of heat from this surface to the air.

PHR

Regenerative-type, rotary regenerative, plate-type, tubular air heater.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
  • Machines à vapeur et condenseurs
  • Centrales thermiques
DEF

[...] récupérateur de chaleur, utilisé concurremment avec l'économiseur pour pousser au maximum le refroidissement des fumées; il est placé après l'économiseur, sur le parcours de celles-ci, parce que la température de l'eau d'alimentation, à l'entrée de l'économiseur, est supérieure à celle de l'air frais.

CONT

Les centrales thermiques conventionnelles posent des problèmes d'épuration d'effluents liquides divers [...], tels que les éluats de régénération des échangeurs d'ions, les effluents alcalins de lavage des réchauffeurs d'air [...]
