Rising energy costs and stringent carbon regulations are pushing industries to optimize heat recovery. Studies show that 20%-30% of thermal energy in flue gas is wasted globally. As a leader in industrial heat recovery, Boqini specializes in advanced flue gas heat exchangers designed to convert waste heat into reusable energy. This guide explores their applications, energy-saving benefits, and science-backed selection strategies.
1. Flue Gas Heat Exchangers: Core of Industrial Heat Recovery
1.1 Working Principle & Value Proposition
 A flue gas heat exchanger captures waste heat from boilers or furnaces, transferring it to water, air, or other media. This process reduces fuel consumption by 10%-20% and aligns with global decarbonization goals.
1.2 Key Applications & Installation
- 
Installation Points: Post-air preheater, pre-dust collector, or pre-desulfurization tower.
 - 
Industries Served: Chemical, power generation, metallurgy, pulp & paper.
 - 
Extended Uses: Preheating combustion air, process water heating, steam generation.
 
2. Energy Savings: Quantifiable Benefits for Industries
2.1 Addressing Major Heat Loss Sources
 Industrial boilers face energy losses primarily from:
- 
Flue Gas Heat Loss (50%-70%): Direct emission of hot exhaust.
 - 
Incomplete Combustion Losses (10%-15%).
 - 
Radiation & Slag Losses (5%-10%).
 
2.2 Efficiency Metrics
- 
Direct Savings: Recover 30%-50% of waste heat, cutting fuel use by 10%-20%.
 - 
Indirect Gains: Lower water consumption, extended equipment lifespan, and compliance with ISO 50001.
 
Tech Edge: Boqini corrugated plates and anti-corrosion fins enhance heat transfer by 40% vs. tubular designs, with 90% less condensation risk.
