Objectives:
When the air heater elements passes through air, the heat
is transferred to air and raise the temperature of air.

APH:
Matrix of heating elements is rotating at 2 to
3 rpm and alternatively passes through FG and
air passage.
Airpreheater Leakage:
In Air heater leakage is inherent to varying degrees.
The driving force that causes leakage is the difference in static pr. levels
clearance and the length of the seals separating the two sides.
Thermal gradients that are inherent in any heat exchanger
Structural deformation takes place resulting in clearances or gaps between
The Paragon DuraMax radial seals incorporate unique, selfadjusting bellows that ensure positive contact with the
sealing surfaces.
The Paragon DuraFlex high-performance circumferential
and bypass seals use a patented revolutionary interlocking
design which reduces the air gaps.

Advantages of APH:
Increase boiler efficiency.
More stable combustion.
Intensified combustion by using hot air.
Lower grade coals can be burnt efficiently.
Heat transfer rate is improved due to hot air.
Faster load variation is possible.
