Epcon’s unique patented heat recovery systems and our commitment to innovation keep us on the cutting edge of technology. Epcon is one of the few companies to have its own state-of-the-art heat exchanger manufacturing facility on site. Our Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers are designed to transfer heat efficiently and effectively while reducing fuel consumption. A Heat Exchanger can be combined with any of our other systems or as a retrofit. In addition, Epcon has several designs that combine burnerless ovens with Thermal Oxidizers to create a completely integrated Combination Oven/Oxidizer System. The price of the fuel necessary to run fired equipment (Ovens, Oxidizers, etc) can be exorbitant. In order to lower operating costs, a heat exchanger can be used. Heat Exchangers are used for transferring heat from one fluid (such as air) at higher temperature to another fluid at a lower temperature, thus making use of heat which would otherwise be wasted. In the various systems manufactured at Epcon, heat exchangers are used for the following purposes: Pre-Heating the process gas as it enters the thermal oxidizer (also called Primary heat exchanger). The heat is transferred from the hot gas leaving the combustion process to the cold air entering it. The two basic methods are Regenerative and Recuperative. Using the gas for Secondary heating systems, such as process heating of the manufacturing facilities and heating boilers. Regenerative & Recuperative Heat Exchangers The two major types of primary heat recovery are Recuperative and Regenerative heat exchanger systems. Recuperative systems typically employ shell and tube type heat exchangers.
