Product: 2 - 48144SP98HTIU Stainless Steel Sinusoidal Plate Heat Exchangers Installation: Installed on two industrial boilers to recover heat for a cardboard dryer in a leading cardboard manufacturing plant: Monterey, Mexico. Specs: In this application, one heat exchanger is installed on each of two boilers. The two EXO units heat the fresh inlet air from 68F (20C) all the way up to 207F (97C) where it then enters the cardboard dryer. Function: This 2-stage heat recovery system was developed by the Exothermics engineering team to take advantage of both available boiler exhausts for maximum energy savings. With allowances for an altitude of 1,752 feet (534 m) the system was custom designed
around
the
specic
conditions
surrounding
the
application. Bottom Line: Heat exchanger #1 is recovering 2.268 MMBtu/hr and heat exchanger #2 is recovering 2.082 MMBtu/hr for a total of 4.35 MMBtu/hr! With 8,000 hours per year in operation, the total annual savings is 34,800 MMBtu with a short NET payback period
of
less
than
6
months!
The
money
saved
in
the
rst
year
of
operation
is
2.2
TIMES
the cost of the two heat exchangers. Now that is payback that any manufacturer can get excited about! Why not let our engineering team prepare a custom Performance Estimate for your systems? Click Here to request your Performance Estimate today! Or send an e-mail to sales@exothermics.com.

Boiler Heat Recovery / Vegetable Oil
Product: 48 144 SP 72 VT-IU (100% Stainless Steel Sinusoidal Plate -Type Heat Exchanger) Installation: Installed after the economizer on a boiler in a vegetable oil production plant. Specs: Because of the presence of condensation and high temperatures, 304 stainless steel
plates,
frame,
and
anges

(24870 Nm3/hr) and an inlet temperature of 323.6 F (162 C); Outlet temperature of 217 F (102.7 C). Passing through the 100% stainless steel sinusoidal plate-type heat exchanger, the outside inlet air is raised from 68 F (20 C) to an outlet temperature of 213.8 F (101 C). The preheated air is then sent to the vegetable oil production process. Function: Recovering 2.83 MMBtu/hr for a very short payback period of 7.08 months. Calculated over the estimated life of the heat exchanger, (a conservative 12 years) this customers 7-month investment will pay them back $988,915! NOTE: With a payback period of just 7.08 months, this is yet another boiler exhaust application which is successfully utilizing an Exothermics heat exchanger to save a tremendous amount of energy while positively impacting the companys bottom line!

Product: 3612HW96HT (Plate-Type Exchanger) Installation: Fume pre-heater on a catalytic fume abatement system. This exchanger heats fume-laden process exhaust gases prior to the catalyst bed by using the hot clean
exhaust
ow
which
is
applied
counter-ow
to
incoming
dirty
fume. Specs: The entire fume abatement system, including the EXO heat exchanger, was installed in a shipping container which will ship to Russia. It will remain in the container and operate there (outside the customers building). An innovative solution to space constraints and extreme weather conditions outside! Function: 4000 Nm3/hour with the exchanger sized for 70% effectiveness. This heat exchanger incorporates a
non-leaking,
compact
design
with
counter-ow
pattern
for
optimal
use
of
the
heat
transfer surface area. NOTE: In this case, the exhaust is coming from a commercial printing process with very high VOCs. Great energy savings are available on Fume Abatement systems! Even if you have challenges like space constraints, our engineering team can work to customize a solution. With proven success of over 25 years, with an EXO product, you

The use of 409 series stainless steel means the MT offers a long-lasting solution for low-to-medium temperature applications. And it does so at as much as 40% lower cost than 300 series stainless alternatives and offers much more durability than aluminized options at similar cost!
