  • a heat exchanger is used to transfer heat from the flue gas exiting a fired heater to its incoming combustion air.
  • Such installations typically require significant ducting to route flue gas to the location of the heat exchanger and then to a flue gas stack and additional ducting to route incoming combustion air from the heat exchanger to the burners of the fired heater.
  • forced draft fans are generally needed to drive the incoming combustion air through the restrictive heat exchanger and induced draft fans are generally needed to pull flue gas through the heat exchanger and out the flue gas stack.

By limiting the pressure drop across the air preheater, it is possible to provide air preheating without the assistance of an induced draft fan (e.g., on the heated exhaust gas side of the preheater). Accordingly, in some embodiments, exhaust gases can flow unaided by draft fans and entirely by natural draft using the thermo siphon effect created by combustion of fuel gas at the burners of the fired heater.

  • the heat pipe may have a center axis extending through the evaporator section and condenser section and the center axis may form an angle of at least 10 degrees with respect to the horizon.

  • the evaporator sections of the heat pipe may be positioned at a same level or above the conduit containing the process fluid of the convection section and below or inside the exhaust stack.
  • Fired heater 10 includes air preheater 12, having a plurality of heat pipes 28, which preheats ambient combustion air before it passes through ducting 14 to burners 16 where the combustion air and a fuel are ignited.

The heated exhaust gases pass through convection section 22 where the gases heat convection coil 24 and the fluid passing therethrough.
  • the fluid heated in convection coil 24 may be the same or different fluid than the process fluid heated in radiant coil 20.

  • the air preheater 12 of FIG. 1 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 2.
  • the air preheater 12 of FIG. 1 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 2.
  • Each heat pipe 28 generally includes a plurality of heat pipes 28 that have first sections that extend into heated exhaust gas passageway 26 and second sections that extend into combustion air passageway 32.

  • the heated exhaust gas passing through passageway 26 transfer heat to the evaporator sections of the heat pipes 28 to evaporate the working fluid and the heated vapor flows to the other, condenser end, where it gives up heat to the incoming combustion air flowing over the condenser sections of the heat pipes 28.
  • the condenser ends are elevated related to the evaporator ends so that condensed working fluid flows back under gravity to the evaporator ends.
  • the condenser ends are preferably elevated by 10 degrees or more than the condenser ends (i.e., the heat pipe has a center axis extending through the first section and second section and the center axis forms an angle of at least 10 degrees with respect to the horizon).
  • Each heat pipe 28 generally includes an outer container and a working fluid contained therein.
  • the outer container isolates the working fluid from the heated exhaust gases and the combustion air.
  • the container preferably may be made of carbon steel.

  • the working fluid within the heat pipe 28 is selected to have a vapor temperature range appropriate to the intended operations.
  • the vapor pressure over the operating temperature range should be sufficiently great to avoid high vapor velocities, which can cause flow instabilities.
  • the fluid should exhibit good thermal stability, a vapor pressure not too high or low over the temperature range, a high latent heat, high thermal conductivity, low liquid and vapor viscosities, and acceptable freezing or pour point.
  • the selection should also be based on thermodynamic considerations which are concerned with the various limitations to heat flow occurring within the heat pipe such as viscous, sonic, capillary, entrainment and nucleate boiling levels. While a wicking material is not required with pipe positions that are disclosed herein, it is not excluded.
  • Exemplary working fluids include acetone and other ethers, alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, propanol, and butanol, hydrocarbons, such as toluene, perhalocarbons, naphthalene, DowthermTM heat transfer fluids and water.
