Abstract
<p class="a">We have examined, for the plate heater included in a heat recovery system of the boiler plant, the influence of its thermophysical parameters on the losses of exergetic power under different operational modes of the heating boiler. A procedure for the calculation of losses in a given heat recovery unit is based on an integrated approach that combines exergetic methods with the methods of thermodynamics of irreversible processes. A mathematical model includes a differential equation of the exergy balance and an equation of thermal conductivity for an air heater under boundary conditions of the third kind. The differential equation of exergy balance has been solved jointly with the equation of thermal conductivity. The result of solving them is the obtained estimation dependences for determining the losses of exergetic power associated with the processes of heat transfer.</p>We have calculated losses of exergetic power in the examined heat recovery units at a change in the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the plate, in the heat transfer coefficient from flue gases and an operational mode of the boiler. The derived dependences on a thermal conductivity coefficient for the considered operating modes of the boiler have two distinct sections, along the first of which there is a relatively small increase in the losses of exergetic power while reducing the coefficient of thermal conductivity, along the second ‒ the loss of exergetic power in a heat recovery unit increase relatively sharply. For the considered sequence of regimes of the boiler a transition from its maximum heat output to the minimal one is accompanied by a decrease in the losses of exergetic power. A similar character is also demonstrated by the dependence on a thermal conductivity coefficient of the relative contribution of losses of exergetic power in the heat transfer processes to their totals in a heat recovery unit. In this case, there are minor differences in the relative contribution of these losses under different operational modes of the boiler. The heat transfer coefficient from the side of flue gases within a framework of a single operating mode of the boiler affects less significantly, compared to the thermal conductivity coefficient of the material of a heat exchange surface, the losses of exergetic power in the heat transfer processes. We have established regions of change in the thermal conductivity coefficient, as well as operational modes of the boiler, in the range of which the losses of exergetic power in a heat recovery unit are minimal
