Industrial steam boilers often lose efficiency when combustion is incomplete and flue‑gas temperatures remain high. FangKuai Boiler’s latest solution tackles both issues head‑on, driving exhaust temperatures below 30 °C and capturing waste heat that would otherwise escape.

Why Boiler Thermal Efficiency Falls Short

  1. Incomplete Fuel Combustion
    The combustion is not complete. This will not only increase pollutant emissions, but also waste the chemical energy contained in the fuel.

  2. High Flue‑Gas Temperatures
    Conventional boilers exhaust gases at 60–80 °C or higher, carrying away a significant fraction of the heat that could have been transferred to water or steam.

1. Full Premixed Combustion

Optimizing the air‑fuel ratio and ensuring thorough mixing delivers a hotter, cleaner flame with minimal unburned residues. This reduces the baseline exhaust temperature by 10–15 °C.

2. Flue‑Gas Source Heat Pump

At the heart of FangKuai’s system is an industrial‑scale heat pump that extracts heat from the >80 °C boiler exhaust. It elevates this otherwise wasted energy to usable temperature levels (e.g., for feed‑water preheating), driving exhaust down to 20 °C or lower.

What is a Flue‑Gas Source Heat Pump?

A specialized heat‑recovery unit that uses the hot flue gas as its low‑grade heat source. Through a refrigeration‑cycle process, it concentrates that residual heat and delivers it back into the boiler system—transforming waste into resource.

Flue‑Gas Temperature 59.3 °C 24.7 °C
Supply/Return Water Temperatures 41.5 °C / 46.5 °C 41.5 °C / 46.5 °C
System Thermal Efficiency 98.4 % 98.4 % + recovered heat
Natural Gas Cost ¥ 2.62/m³ (~ $0.365/m³)
Quarterly Gas Expense ¥ 1,591,000 (~ $222,000)
COP of Heat Pump 5.69
Local Electricity Price ¥ 0.72/kWh (~ $0.10/kWh)
Quarterly Savings from Heat Recovery ¥ 89,800 (~ $12,525)
Annual Gas Volume Saved 45,000 m³

Thanks to the heat pump, the plant cuts its quarterly gas bill by about $12,500 and reduces fuel consumption by 45,000 m³ per heating season—equivalent to roughly $16,400 in avoided gas purchases.

Conclusion

Fangkuai Boiler’s solution combines full premixed combustion with a flue gas source heat pump to reduce the exhaust gas temperature to below 30°C, reuse waste heat, and improve overall thermal efficiency. Case studies have confirmed that this solution can quickly recover costs and significantly save fuel, pointing the way to more environmentally friendly and economical steam production.
