3. High-Efficiency Heat Recovery

  • Sequential high, medium, and low-pressure steam generation; flue gas temperature reduced below 90°C.
  • Finned and pin-tube designs: Enhance heat transfer coefficient to 60–120 W/(㎡·℃), increasing steam output by up to 50%.
  • Low-grade heat utilization: Absorption heat pumps can reduce flue gas to 30°C, improving overall boiler efficiency by 8–15% while reducing SO₂ and NOₓ emissions.

4. Advanced Materials & Corrosion Protection

  • Nickel-based high-temp alloys (GH4033, GH2747) for superheaters and reheaters operating up to 1250°C.
  • Composite phase-change heat pipes: Prevent acid dew point corrosion even at low flue gas temperatures.
  • Thermal conductive anti-corrosion coatings: Boost heat efficiency by 5% and resist ultra-high temperatures.
