Maximise the benefits of your coal-to-gas conversion, with our new Air-preheater elements

When converting your coal-fired unit to natural gas firing, a retrofit of the elements of your air-preheater can significantly contribute to boiler efficiency and consequently to a reduction of the heat rate.

Our International Heater team has worked hard to develop a new line of heater elements that are ideally suited to maximise the heat transfer in "clean" gas applications. Upgrading elements in your existing air-preheater provides a simple method of aligning the heating surface with the new conditions.

The total investments costs are negligible compared to the cost savings it delivers and the payback time is extremely short. Therefore a retrofit of your Air-preheater elements might seem like a minor investment to your plant, but has the potential of significantly increasing application efficiency and contributes to maximising the benefits of the coal-to-gas conversion for your plant.
