    • Combustion Air Preheat and Radiant Heat Transfer in Fired Heaters - A Graphical Method for Design and Operating Analysis 
      Grantom, R. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      The installation of combustion air preheat is a widely used technique for improving the fuel efficiency of existing fired heaters and fired tubular reactors. By increasing adiabatic flame temperature, combustion air preheat ...
    • Combustion Air Preheat on Steam Cracker Furnaces 
      Kenney, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Beginning in 1978, Exxon has started up nine large new steam cracking furnaces with various levels of air preheat, and has seven more under construction. Sources of heat have included process streams, flue gas and gas ...
    • Combustion Air Preheat Should Be More Than Simply Recycling Energy 
      Grantom, R. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      Combustion air preheat can and should result in fuel savings far in excess of the energy added to the combustion air. In a typical installation of air preheat on a fired tubular reactor, the addition of 2.5 million BTU/hr ...
    • Effect of Combustion Air Preheat on a Forged Furnace Productivity 
      Ward, M. E.; Bohn, J.; Davis, S. R.; Knowles, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      A basic thermal analysis of a gas fired forge furnace can determine the fuel savings from exhaust energy recovery/combustion air preheat on a furnace operating at a single condition, for example, high fire. What this ...
    • High Efficiency Burners by Retrofit - A Simple Inexpensive Way to Improve Combustion Efficiency 
      Rogers, W. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      Existing direct fired process heaters and steam boilers can have their efficiencies remarkably improved, and thus cut the fuel bill, by conversion from conventional type natural draft burners to high intensity, "forced ...
