2. Product Introduction: Waste Heat Recovery Fin Tube Economizer

Finned tube economizer is the core waste heat recovery equipment installed at boiler tail flue. It recovers residual heat from high-temperature dusty flue gas to preheat low-temperature boiler feed water, drastically reducing exhaust temperature and fuel burning volume. Compared with traditional bare tube economizers, high-frequency welded fin tube structure expands heat exchange area 4~8 times, featuring compact layout, high heat transfer efficiency, strong wear & corrosion resistance, stable continuous operation for 24-hour industrial production.

Main Structural & Material Configurations

Pressure-resistant Base Tube

High-temperature & high-pressure working section: 20G boiler seamless steel tube, 15CrMoG alloy steel tube

Low-temperature dew point anti-corrosion section: ND steel (09CrCuSb) tube to resist sulfuric acid dew point corrosion

Corrosive flue gas (waste incineration, chemical exhaust): 304 / 316L stainless steel seamless tube

Integrated Welded Fin Structure

Two mainstream fin types for different flue gas conditions:

Spiral high-frequency welded steel fins: High heat transfer coefficient, suitable for clean gas natural gas boilers

H-type square finned tube: In-line arrangement, anti-abrasion & anti-dust accumulation, the first choice for coal-fired, biomass high-ash flue gas boilers

All fins are fully welded with base tube without gap, low thermal resistance, no fin shedding under long-term flue gas scouring. Windward vulnerable parts are equipped with wear-resistant guard rings to extend service life.

Thickened Forged Header & Reinforced Support Frame

Heavy-wall pressure-bearing header ensures even feed water distribution and smooth condensate drainage; reinforced steel support bracket eliminates flue vibration deformation. Modular tube bundle design supports customized flue size, heat load and installation layout.

Auxiliary Matching Parts

Reserved sootblower interface, drain valve port, temperature & pressure measuring ports, convenient for system automatic control and regular ash cleaning maintenance.

Working Principle

High-temperature flue gas transversely scours the outer fin surface of the fin tube bundle and releases waste heat via convection & radiation heat transfer; cold boiler feed water flows inside the base tube from bottom to top and absorbs heat to raise temperature before entering the boiler steam drum. The cooled flue gas is sent to dust removal and emission system, while preheated feed water reduces boiler heating load, realizing full utilization of flue gas waste heat and closed energy circulation.

3. Core Advantages of Our Factory’s Fin Tube Economizer

3.1 Outstanding Waste Heat Recovery & Significant Energy Saving Effect

Extended fin heat exchange surface greatly improves heat transfer efficiency. For every 20°C drop of exhaust flue gas temperature, boiler overall efficiency rises by about 1%, cutting coal, biomass and natural gas consumption by 3%~8% annually, bringing short investment payback period for industrial enterprises.

3.2 Dual Anti-wear & Anti-corrosion Design for Harsh Flue Gas

H-type finned tube economizer adopts in-line anti-scouring layout, service life 3~4 times longer than staggered bare tube units. Optional ND steel low-temperature section completely solves acid corrosion caused by SO₂/SO₃ condensation in flue gas, perfectly matching coal, biomass, garbage incineration high-dust sulfur-containing flue gas working conditions.

3.3 Stable High Temp & High Pressure Operation

All pressure parts undergo 1.5 times working pressure hydraulic test before delivery, adapting to working pressure 1.6~10MPa and flue gas temperature 200~550℃, stable operation under frequent boiler start-stop load fluctuation without pipe burst or leakage failure.

3.4 Anti-block Structure Reduces Maintenance Downtime

Reasonable fin spacing and straight-through airflow channel avoid ash accumulation; matched steam/acoustic soot blower interface supports regular automatic ash cleaning, preventing heat efficiency attenuation caused by dust covering fin surfaces.

3.5 Full Customization Service for All Working Conditions

Our factory customizes fin tube material, fin pitch, tube bundle layout, equipment size and heat load according to clients’ flue gas volume, inlet temperature, ash content, corrosive medium and site space. Support horizontal & vertical installation modes for new boiler matching and old energy-saving reconstruction projects.

3.6 Complete One-Stop Technical Support

Free thermal load calculation, 3D drawing design, factory pre-assembly inspection, on-site installation guidance, operation training and regular after-sales maintenance service; spare parts supply available throughout equipment service life.
