Quadsector Air Preheaters - High Efficiency Design With Low Leakage, Reduced Size, And Minimal Maintenance

We are manufacturing and supplying Quadsector Air Preheaters in 24 Parganas (n), West Bengal, India. The quad-sector design is available with the primary (high pressure) system fitted between two normal secondary air sections. This gives a reduction in leakage but at a higher initial cost for both the heater and the air ducting.

Key benefits

Low capital investment
Rotary regenerative air preheaters have a much reduced size and cost relative to recuperative tubular or plate heat exchangers.

Low leakage level without drift
Most new air preheaters can achieve leakage levels that are close to their design values after initial commissioning or when set up correctly after an outage. However, after a period of operation of up to 2 or 3 years, the leakage can increase dramatically, typically from 5% - 12% on secondary preheaters and to between 12% - 25% (and frequently higher) on high pressure mill preheaters.

Extensive choice of heat transfer elements
Howden have designed and developed an extensive range of heat transfer elements over the years. Combinations of elements are selected to optimise performance, pressure drop and cleanability for the given fuels

Low maintenance
Conceptual and detailed design targets the achievement of simplicity and minimal maintenance. Fixed sealing surfaces and centre drive greatly reduces maintenance by removing actuators and pin racks.
