Stack Gas Heat Recovery from 100 to 1200 HP Boilers
Abstract
With newspaper reports of March 1980 fuel price increases at as much as a 110% annualized rate, energy users are becoming more keenly aware of the urgency of conserving energy--and energy dollars. It is becoming increasingly more difficult for business to remain competitive while "passing through" fuel cost increases to consumers. As energy becomes an increased percentage of the budget, energy conservation with have an increasing impact on profitability. While at the time of this writing our nation appears to be blessed with a generally expanding energy supply, not too many months ago commercial and industrial energy users in some parts of the country had experienced energy rationing or even curtailment. In certain industries, this resulted in reduced production and caused personnel layoffs. U.S. Government reports indicate that roughly 20% of all fuel is consumed in boilers. A savings in boiler fuel consumption can have a positive impact on energy conservation, and become an important component in the solution of our nation's "energy crisis."
