Energy recovery system FCD series

heatvacuumfor boiler

The ADCATherm FCD series flash condensing heads are designed to promote energy efficiency on new or existing systems. Mixing the flash steam with boiler make-up water allows the energy within the flash steam to be fully absorbed into the water and therefore reduces energy waste that normally occurs from the discharge of flash steam through a vent. The main advantages over some traditional systems are that it is possible to make the most of the piping connections in a single and compact mixing unit and a greater heat recovery efficiency can be achieved. This mixing unit includes the following fluid connections:- Cold make-up water;- Condensate return;- Re-circulating feedwater;- Vacuum breaker and vent connection;- Optional connections for flash steam from a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) heat recovery system. The mixing unit includes the necessary baffles, spray nozzle, water injector pipe, etc., in order to guarantee high mixing energy efficiency. The water is finally mixed in the vessel as it passes through an immersion tube, which ensures a quiet operation. The feedwater is re-circulated using a low power re-circulating pump which improves thermal efficiency by reducing the temperature stratification. Additional equipment can be used to improve energy efficiency and accurate control. ADCATrol control valves, ADCAMix steam injectors, ADCATherm exhaust heads and many other items.
