Convection superheater
• Location: horizontal or vertical flue gas duct
• Structure: coil tube
• Example: final superheater (parallel flow)
final re-heater (parallel flow)
primary superheater（counter flow）
low temperature re-heater（counter flow）
vertical low temperature superheater (counter)

Radiation
• location : wall or roof of the furnace and the duct
• Example: ceiling superheater, enclosure

superheater

Semi-radiation
• Location:
It is usually set on the top or the outlet of the furnace,
which can both absorbing the radiant heat and convectional
heat from flue gas.
• Structure: platen
•
• Example: Rear platen superheater

Economizer and Air heater
Rear heating surface or low temperature heating surface
Functions
 Decrease the temperature of flue gas
 Decrease evaporation surface：

Using low price economizer instead of high price
cooing wall
High efficient heat exchange (low temperature,
forced flow and counter flow)
 Decrease the temperature difference between feeding

water and drum in order to alleviate thermal stresses
Functions of air heater
 Decrease flue gas temperature further

Large capacity boiler，T of feeding water: 250-
280℃ > 120 ℃
 Dry coal milling system
 Enhance initiation

Economizer: types and tubes arrangement
1. tubular, cast(pressure < 4 MPa)

2. non-boiling、boiling(medium pressure)
capacity, heat absorption by evaporation
Use non-boiling
3. Staggered low fouling, strong heat exchange,
high abrasion
in-line good ash flowing, weak heat exchange,
low abrasion
Economizer: types and arrangement
4. Structure: coil tube
Tube, fin-type, film-type
Heat transfer enhancement, volume saving,

Economizer and its pendant
tubes
Economizer: types and arrangement
5. Horizontal coil tube, facilitate to water conveyance
6. Counter flow, increase temperature difference of heat transfer
Water: bottom-up, easy for gas discharge, avoid corrosion
Flue gas: top-down, for ash blowing
7. Vertical to the front wall, parallel to the rear wall
Rear flue gas duct: Wide but shadow
vertically arranged: easily hang but high abrasion in the end of
tube
horizontally arranged: hard for hang but low abrasion
Economizer recirculation pipe
When starting up, the steam flow rate

is lowdangerous
Natural circulation Controlled circulation

Air heater(AH)
Types：
Tubular AH: small boilers, or CFB
Rotary AH (Regenerative AH): Applied in the boiler whose

capacity is above 300MW

44
Tri-sectional Regenerative Air Preheater
Characteristics of the Regenerative AH
 compact: high heat exchange density, 1/10 volume

of tubes；
 lighter and cost saving: heat reserve plate, thin
 flexible
 alleviate low temperature corrosion: temperature
changes in heat exchangers
 corrosion of heat surface will not increase air
leakage and easy for replacement
 large amount of air leakage between rotary and
static parts
 complicated structure，complex maintenance

Commercial Applications
Rotating-plate (more)
Stationary-plate
A. Rotating part
Double-sectional (flue gas section, air section and sealed
section)
Large flue gas flow: 50%；Air: 30-40%
Tri-sectional (flue gas section, primary air, secondary air

and sealed section)
can use cold primary
Prof&Dr air fan, widely used
Zhongzhu Qiu 46
Stationary-plate:
Stator(heat surface) includes rotary upper and

under cover
Reduce the weight of stator
Similar to Tri-sectional Regenerative Air Preheater

Stationary-plate separate primary and secondary air

48
Stationary-plate type regenerative air heater
Air leakage
Primary problem for rotary air heater
Features: air  flue gas

Reasons：
1)Low residue air or flue gas in heat exchanger
2)Leakage of seal：gap between rotators and
stator
positive pressure in air side
negative pressure in flue gas side
Influences:
Increase electricity consumption of ID Fan and FD Fan,
heat loses in flue gas and can not supply enough air for
