Investigation of the System Coupling Regenerative Heat Exchange and Selective Catalytic Reduction for Heat Exchange and NOx Removal

Article Preview

Abstract:

In conjunction with theoretical heat exchange model, experimental investigations have been conducted for a coupled system of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Regenerative Heat Exchange (RHE), to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) from coal-fired boilers and High Temperature Air Combustion (HiTAC) furnaces. Results indicate there is no effect of catalysis reactions on heat transfer; catalysts serve the function of heating elements. The outlet NO concentration periodically decreased in an almost linear fashion. NO conversion: i) rose slowly with a longer switching time; and ii) reached the peak value of temperature with a delay compared with the steady state. The coupled system requires less space and hence is a suitable option for SCR renovations in coal-fired power plants.
