Optimal energy recovery

The flue gases from the combustion of Peat, Wood-chips, Waste and Gas have a high energy content, mainly due to the latent heat in the water vapour.

In the condenser RECO-Flue the flue gases are cooled so that the latent heat from the water vapour can be utilised, as condensation occurs. Through condensation an increase of 25% of the available energy for e.g. District Heating can be acquired.

By further cooling the flue gases and humidifying the combustion air in the rotary humidifier ROTO-FLUE, an increase in output of over 35% calculated on the boiler output will be achieved.

High Cleaning Capacity

Flue gases with low dust content can enter the condenser directly without pre-collecting, whilst flue gases with high load of fly ash are to be pre-cleaned with such equipment as multi-cyclones 

Condensation will clean the flue gases further, so that the emission of fly ash is reduced by between 40-90% and that of Mercury and Hydrogen Chloride with circa 90% and 98% respectively.

By the dosing of Lye to the circulating condensate, the SO2 content can also be reduced considerably.

Corrosion resistant design

The extremely high corrosive environment that occurs when cooling flue gases sets very high demand on correct choice of material and suitable design of the condenser. Particularly exposed to corrosion are the parts of the condenser which first come into contact with the flue gases. The RECO-FLUE design allows it to be made in very corrosion resistant materials.

Radscan Intervex have a specialised knowledge in corrosion technology with experience from many installations. This has contributed to making RECO-FLUE a versatile product that ensures problem free operation and maximum life span.
