MODELING OF A DOUBLE CIRCULATION RECUPERATOR’S HEAT WORK
Utilization of heat from waste products of heat units’ combustion is one of the most important means of saving fuel and energy resources and improving the environmental performance of the enterprise. Improving the design of heat recuperators and increasing their energy efficiency by improving thermal performance is based primarily on the development of new and improvement of existing methods for calculating heat exchangers. In this paper, based on the method of elementary heat balances, a mathematical model of the thermal operation of a double-circulation recuperator is developed. The use of the described mathematical model of recuperator’s heat work makes it possible to analyze its design in terms of energy efficiency, durability, the ability to reduce heat emissions into the environment.
