  • Patent number: 10844753
    Abstract: A boiler including one or more evaporators, an economizer, and a low-temperature heat exchanger. The economizer is located on a downstream side of the most downstream evaporator which is an evaporator at the most downstream side among the one or more evaporators. The low-temperature heat exchanger is located on the downstream side of the economizer, has an inlet for receiving water from the outside, and is configured to heat the water introduced from the inlet and sent to the economizer with the combustion gas.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10514183
    Abstract: An exhaust gas latent-heat recovery device includes: a heat transfer tube disposed inside a duct through which exhaust gas flows, the heat transfer tube having a water supply inlet into which water to be heated for recovering latent heat of the exhaust gas is supplied and a water supply outlet through which the water to be heated is discharged; and a water supply control part configured to control supply of the water to be heated to the water supply inlet. The water supply control part is configured to control supply of the water to be heated from the water supply inlet so that an outlet temperature being a temperature of the water to be heated at the water supply outlet is at a set temperature.

  • Patent number: 8506683
    Abstract: An absorbent liquid according to the present invention is an absorbent liquid for absorbing CO2 or H2S or both from gas, in which the absorbent liquid includes an alkanolamine as a first compound component, and a second component including a nitrogen-containing compound having in a molecule thereof two members or more selected from a primary nitrogen, a secondary nitrogen, and a tertiary nitrogen or a nitrogen-containing compound having in a molecule thereof all of primary, secondary, and tertiary nitrogens. The absorbent liquid has an excellent absorption capacity performance and an excellent absorption reaction heat performance, as compared to an aqueous solution containing solely an alkanolamine and a nitrogen-containing compound in the same concentration in terms of wt %, and can recover CO2 or H2S or both from gas with smaller energy.

  • Publication number: 20130125841
    Abstract: A device for recovering residual heat from exhaust gas includes: a dry economizer which heats to-be-heated water by utilizing sensible heat of the exhaust gas, the dry economizer being provided in a duct extending to a funnel through which the exhaust gas is emitted to atmosphere; and a condensation economizer which heats to-be-heated water by utilizing latent heat of condensation of the exhaust gas, the condensation economizer being provided on a downstream side of the dry economizer. The duct includes an upstream duct in which the dry economizer is provided and a downstream duct connected to the upstream duct and directing the exhaust gas to flow upwardly. The condensation economizer is arranged in the downstream duct so that temperature of the exhaust gas amounts to condensation temperature at a vicinity of an upper part of the condensation economizer.
