Heat and Air Specifications
Recover 6,300 SCFM of 1,600ᵒ to 1,750ᵒF hot air leaving a thermal fume incinerator, cooling it down to 350ᵒF before entering a bag-house filtration system for final cleaning.
High-Temperature Waste Heat Recovery for Carbon Fiber Manufacturing
PRE-heat Inc. stepped up to the challenge, delivering the PRE-heat Model V13/31-72-85.5-2S heat exchangers designed to exacting standards. Constructed from premium materials including stainless steel tubes and tube sheets, these exchangers were engineered to withstand the high temperatures and rigorous demands of the carbon fiber manufacturing process.
How To Save Energy in a Manufacturing Plant with a Heat Exchanger
We provided more efficiency while simultaneously showcasing our proprietary free-floating air seal expansion system. This system is the best in the industry and lasts longer than other units, while still maintaining the integrity of the unit and the seal between air streams. For this project, the shell was all dye penetrated tested, and was built while using our standard Quality Control Sheets/system.
