| dc.description.abstract | 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 increases radiant section heat transfer efficiency thereby enabling the transfer of the same amount of energy from a lower total heat release in the radiant box. This paper presents a graphical procedure that can be used (1) to estimate fuel savings obtained by combustion air preheat, and (2) to analyze the effects of variations in operating conditions on a combustion air preheat furnace, such as load changes, over-or-under firing, and excess air control. | en |
