Original Abstract

A quite new and unique system for the thermal treatment of gas wastes (incineration of volatile organic compounds contained in polluted air) has been developed. This comprises a process placed into one compact equipment consisting of a combustion chamber (incinerator) combined with heat exchanger (polluted air preheater). It can be used in various branches of industry. The equipment is characterized by a cylindrical combustion chamber which is placed inside a heat exchanger polluted air preheater. This cylindrical preheater consists of several concentric stainless sheets. Both flue gas from the combustion chamber and polluted air (which is heated by flue gas) flow in the spaces between each couple of cylindrical sheets. Narrow distance strips which are helically placed between the sheets form helical rectangular ducts. Thus we can reach counter-current flow of process fluids. It was necessary to develop a mathematical model for the calculation and/or simulation of the equipment. This model consists of submodels of heat exchanger, combustion chamber and annular space in between them. Based on results of measurements on an industrial scale experimental facility new correlations for the thermal and hydraulic calculations of the heat exchanger were developed. Some industrial applications are briefly mentioned.
