Dear all,
I have an idea to recover heat from our boiler which is used for heating oil tanks. The exhaust gas of the boiler is usually between 210-230 C and I believe there is a significant amount of heat there that can be recovered. We use heavy oil as the fuel for the boiler. The products of the combustion has a significant amount of soot - that's where the problem begins. The soot will surely drastically reduce the heat transfer which will cause inefficient heat recovery. Manual cleaning of soot will be painful. At this point, what kind of exhaust waste heat recovery along with an appropriate soot removal system would you recommend?
Any idea will be helpful.
Thanks.
