  • Heat Generation Technology Landscaping Study, Scotland's
    Heat Generation Technology Landscaping Study, Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP) BRE August 2017 Summary This landscaping study has reviewed the status and suitability of a number of near-term heat generation technologies that are not already significantly established in the market-place. The study has been conducted to inform Scottish Government on the status and the technologies so that they can make informed decisions on the potential suitability of the technologies for inclusion within Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP). Some key findings which have emerged from the research include: • High temperature, hybrid and gas driven heat pumps all have the potential to increase the uptake of low carbon heating solutions in the UK in the short to medium term. • High temperature heat pumps are particularly suited for off-gas grid retrofit projects, whereas hybrids and gas driven products are suited to on-gas grid properties. They may all be used with no or limited upgrades to existing heating systems, and each offers some advantages (but also some disadvantages) compared with standard electric heat pumps. • District heating may continue to have a significant role to play – albeit more on 3rd and 4th generation systems than the large high temperature systems typical in other parts of Europe in the 1950s and 60s – due to lower heating requirements of modern retrofitted buildings. • Longer term, the development of low carbon heating fuel markets may also present significant opportunity e.g. biogas, and possibly hydrogen.

  • 5Th-Generation Thermox WDG Flue Gas Combustion Analyzer
    CONTROL EXCLUSIVE 5th-Generation Thermox WDG Flue Gas Combustion Analyzer “For more than 40 years, we have been a leader in combustion gas analysis,” says Mike Fuller, divison VP of sales and marketing and business development for Ametek Process Instruments, “and we believe the WDG-V is the combustion analyzer of the future.” WDG analyzers are based on a zirconium oxide cell that provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for measuring excess oxygen in flue gas as well as CO and methane levels. This information allows operators to obtain the highest fuel effi- ciency, while lowering emissions for NOx, CO and CO2. The zir- conium oxide cell responds to the difference between the concen- tration of oxygen in the flue gas versus an air reference. To assure complete combustion, the flue gas should contain several percent oxygen. The optimum excess oxygen concentration is dependent on the fuel type (natural gas, hydrocarbon liquids and coal). The WDG-V mounts directly to the process flange, and is heated to maintain all sample-wetted components above the acid dewpoint. Its air-operated aspirator draws a sample into the ana- lyzer and returns it to the process. A portion of the sample rises into the convection loop past the combustibles and oxygen cells, Ametek’s WDG-V flue gas combustion analyzer meets SIL-2 and then back into the process. standards for safety instrumented systems. This design gives a very fast response and is perfect for process heat- ers. It features a reduced-drift, hot-wire catalytic detector that is resis- analyzer with analog/HART, discrete and Modbus RS-485 bi-direc- tant to sulfur dioxide (SO ) degradation, and the instrument is suitable 2 tional communications, or supplied in a typical “sensor/controller” for process streams up to 3200 ºF (1760 ºC).

  • Humidity in Gas-Fired Kilns Proportion of Excess Combustion
    HUMIDITY OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS FROM WOOD AND GASEOUS FUELS George Bramhall Western Forest Products Laboratory Vancouver, British Columbia The capital and operating costs of steam kilns and the boilers necessary for their operation are so high-in Canada that they are not economically feasible for small operations drying softwoods. About thirty years ago, direct fired or hot-air kilns were intro- duced. In such kilns natural gas, propane, butane or oil is burned and the combustion products conducted directly into the drying chamber. This design eliminates the high capital and operating costs of the steam boiler, and permits the small operator to dry lumber economically. However, such kilns are not as versatile as steam kilns. While they permit good temperature control, their humidity control is limited: they can only reduce excess humidity by venting, they cannot increase it and therefore cannot relieve drying stresses at the end of drying. For this reason, they are usually limited to the drying of structural lumber. Due to the decreasing supplies and increasing costs of fossil fuels, there is growing interest in burning wood residues to pro- vide the heat for drying. Although wood residue was often the fuel for steam boilers, the capital and operating costs of boilers are no more acceptable now to the smaller operator than they were a few years ago. The present trend is rather to burn wood cleanly and conduct the combustion products into the kiln in the same man- ner as is done with gaseous fossil fuels. This is now being done successfully with at least one type of burner, and others are in the pilot stage.

Large systems for oxygen production and flue gas purification are required for this technology. Air Liquide has been a leader in building large Air Separation Units (ASUs) and more developments have been performed to customize the air separation process for coal-fired power plants. Air Liquide is also actively involved in developing processes for purification of flue gas from oxy-coal combustion systems for enhanced oil recovery applications as well as sequestration in saline aquifers. Through optimization of the overall oxy-coal combustion system, it has been possible to identify key advantages of this solution: minimal efficiency loss associated with CO2 capture (less than 6 pts penalty on HHV efficiency compared to no capture), near zero emission, energy storage, high CO2 purity and high CO2 recovery capability.

  • Don't Let Dollars Disappear up Your Chimney!
    ENERGY SAVINGTIPS DON’T LET DOLLARS DISAPPEAR UP YOUR CHIMNEY! You wouldn’t leave a window wide open in cold weather. Having a fireplace with an open flue damper is the same as having a window open. That sends precious winter heat and money right up the chimney! Here’s how you can heat your home, and not the neighborhood! KEEP THE FIREPLACE DAMPER CLOSED WHEN THE FIREPLACE IS NOT BEING USED The damper is a flap inside the chimney or flue. It has an open and a closed position. When a fire is burning, the damper should be in the open position to allow smoke to escape up the fireplace flue and out the chimney. When you’re not using the fireplace, the damper should be closed. If you can’t see the handle or chain that opens and closes the damper, use a flashlight and look up inside the chimney flue. The handle could be a lever that moves side to side or back and forth. If a chain operates the damper, you may have to pull both sides to determine which one closes or opens the damper. KEEP YOUR HEAT IN YOUR HOME! Even the most energy efficient homes can fall victim to fireplace air leaks. Your fireplace may be reserved for a handful of special occasions or especially cold nights. When it’s not in use, though, your home loses heat – and costs you money – without you knowing it. Using the heat from your fireplace on a cold winter night may be cozy, but that fire is a very inefficient way to warm up the room.

  • Flue Gas Analysis As a Diagnostic Tool for Fired Process Heater Furnaces
    Application Data Sheet Refining Flue Gas Analysis as a Diagnostic Tool for Fired Process Heater Furnaces Overview, and Traditional Application Figure 2 - CFD Depiction of the Turbulent Mixing of Fuel and Air Through a Burner Combustion flue gas analysis has been used by process heater operators for decades as a method of optimizing fuel/air ratio. By measuring the amount of excess oxygen and/or CO in the flue gases resulting from combustion, furnace operators can operate at optimum efficiency and lowest NOx, and also generate the least amount of greenhouse gas.The theoretical ideal, or the stoichiometric point is where all fuel is reacted with available oxygen in the combustion air and no fuel or O2 is left over.

This optimum operating point is different for every furnace and also varies for differing loads, or firing rates. A higher firing rate 10 min induces greater turbulence through the burner(s), providing better 0 mixing of fuel and air, and enabling operation with a lower excess O2 before unburned fuel (represented by CO) appears, or “breaks through”.
