An Application Analysis of Solution Circulation Heat Recovery System in Natural Gas Fired Boiler

In this paper, a new system which absorbs the water vapor in flue gas of natural gas fired boiler (NGFB) by desiccant solution is introduced. This system can recover the latent heat of water vapor and improve the thermal efficiency of the NGFB significantly. In the theoretical analysis, the packed tower which is the most important equipment of solution circulation heat recovery system (SCHRS) can be designed by establishing a mathematical model. Based on the recovery efficiency of water vapor by desiccant solution absorption, the thermal efficiency analysis of NGFB is discussed, which show that SCHRS has a good application prospect in NGFB waste heat recovery.
