A CFD ASSISTED STUDY: INVESTIGATION OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF A RECUPERATIVE FURNACE TO REGENERATIVE FURNACE FOR INDUSTRIAL ALUMINIUM MELTING

In industrial applications, pre-heating and re-heating of the exhaust air have very big savings fuel costs emissions. Especially, recuperative, regenerative furnaces are an efficient method to obtain more heat sources. Regenerative furnace systems provide superior cost in applications when they adapted with suitable processes. this study, recuperative aluminum melting transformed high performance manufacturing system. Several calculations evaluations conducted observe difference by help mathematical modelling CFD analysis. According results, as a design criterion, 1654 J/kg enthalpy change is calculated improve system for regenerated systems. Fuel consumption decreased around 30% payback time 1.43 year according December 2018 values.
