GAS AIR HEATER [4 records]

Record 1 2017-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Crude Oil and Petroleum Products
  • Environmental Law
CONT

For the purpose of determining the type of gaseous fossil fuel — natural gas or alternative gas — introduced into the combustion chamber of a boiler or heater, the percentage of methane in the fuel must be determined in accordance with section 16 [of the Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétroles bruts et dérivés
  • Droit environnemental
CONT

Pour déterminer le type de combustibles fossiles gazeux — gaz naturel ou gaz de remplacement — introduits dans la chambre de combustion de la chaudière ou du four industriel, le pourcentage de méthane dans ces combustibles est déterminé conformément à l’article 16 [du Règlement multisectoriel sur les polluants atmosphériques­].

Record 2 2004-08-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thermoelectricity and Thermoelectronics
CONT

In 2003, about 90% of the new combined-cycle capacity was already in commercial operation, while the program of conversion to coal ... was about to start. The Torrevaldaliga oil to coal conversion project is part of this strategic plan. The existing plant is equipped with four Babcock & Wilcox once-through oil-fired supercritical boilers. Three of the units will be converted to coal, while the fourth will be dismantled.

CONT

Advantages of supercritical boiler application. Thermal efficiency. Under the same performance conditions(i. e. fuel properties, ambient temperature, flue gas temperature at air heater outlet, etc), there is no difference in the boiler efficiency between subcritical and supercritical steam conditions. The improvement in plant efficiency by using supercritical cycle results in fuel consumption savings and reduced flue gas emissions.

PHR

Oil-fired, once-through supercritical boiler.

Domaine(s)
  • Thermoélectrique et thermoélectronique
CONT

Équipée de paliers lisses à rainures de lubrification et de roues fixées individuellement par une bague d'appui, la gamme HGD se prête particulièrement bien aux applications dans les tranches de centrales à partir de 600 MW avec chaudières surcritiques.

Record 3 1990-01-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

Horizontal gas-fired furnace... does not come equipped with its own blower.... Duct furnaces are normally certified for operation either upstream or downstream of an air conditioner cooling coil. A combination blower and duct furnace is also available, but it is called a blower unit heater. Duct furnaces and blower unit heaters are available in natural gas, LP, oil, and electric models.

Record 4 1982-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Road Transport
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
OBS

In the closed-cycle gas turbine, essentially all the working medium(except for seal leakage, bleed loss, and any addition or extraction of working medium for control purposes) is continuously recycled. Heat from a source such as fossil fuel(or possibly, nuclear reaction) is transferred through the walls of a closed heater to the cycle. The closed cycle can be charged with gases other than air, such as helium, carbon dioxide or nitrogen.
