Abstract:

Conventional energy sources are limited in the world and energy conservation is necessary nowadays. Thermal Efficiency improvement is necessary for saving fuel and energy cost, this paper presents an approach for the optimization of economizer design with increasing number of tubes which added an additional area for economizer. The aim of this work is to develop an economic study which finds the optimization of economizer design and to increase the amount of heat saving, in addition, decreased the volume of combustion product that leads to environmental pollution reduction, the finding shows boiler efficiency improved by 1% and the heat loss due to the exhaust gas was decreased compared by the old design. The new design shows the payback period is eight months also the amount of fuel (natural gas) saved equal 192096 m3 per year. So this new design is feasible and valid.
