• The efficiency of boiler is increased by reduction in Gas Outlet Temperature (for every 20°C drop in flue gas temperature, the boiler efficiency increases by 1%). Leads to fuel saving.
• Reduction of APH leakage decreases Fan loading. • Reduced Gas outlet temperature reduces flue gas
volume and that results in improving ESP efficiency.
Role of Air Preheater in a Boiler

Upgraded Heating Element Profile
Recent times the quality of coal has deteriorated – Low Calorific Value, High Ash and Sulphur.
Firing poor quality coal makes the layers of APH heating elements susceptible to fouling. Hence, there is a need to upgrade profile to minimise
fouling with consistent performance.

Upgraded Heating Element Profile
* GEECO’s answer is the modified and improved profiles.
* The results are verified by CFD simulations & Wind
Tunnel Testing
* Implemented and the results confirms to CFD and Wind Tunnel Testing
