WHAT WE DO
AIR PREHEATER MANUFACTURERS
As a leading manufacturer in the industry, Industrial Boilers America takes pride in crafting top-of-the-line air preheaters. Our expertise and dedication shine through in every unit we produce, guaranteeing reliability and efficiency. The primary goal of an air preheater is simple yet crucial: to boost the thermal efficiency of the entire process. Preheating the air before it enters the boiler requires less energy to achieve the desired temperature during combustion. This not only saves fuel but also reduces harmful emissions. Air preheaters in thermal power plants can be used alone or to replace a recuperative heat system or steam coil. We specialize in manufacturing the combustion air preheaters that are used in large boilers found in thermal power stations that produce electric power from fossil fuels, waste, or other forms of biomass.

What is an Air Preheater?
An air preheater is a piece of industrial equipment used as heat-exchangers installed in the exit flue gas duct of an industrial boiler. The function of the air preheater in a boiler is to recover the heat from the industrial boiler flue gas which increases the overall thermal efficiency of the boiler by reducing the useful heat that is lost in the flue gas. The flue gases are then conveyed to the flue gas stack at a much lower temperature, allowing control over the temperature of gases leaving the stack or chimney.
In boilers, air preheaters significantly help by feeding in hot air, increasing the combustion efficiency required for steam boiler operation. They recover up to 60% of the heat from the flue gas and use that to heat the air. For this reason, air preheaters are of significant importance in heat exchange and vital in improving efficiency throughout the various industrial processes they are used in.
Air preheaters, crafted with expertise, are ingenious devices. They ensure that the air going into the boiler is just right for optimal performance. In steam power plants, they are one of the most important energy recovery systems.
OUR CAPABILITIES
Types of Air Preheaters
The most popular air preheaters are tubular preheaters that consist of straight tube bundles which pass through the outlet ducting of an industrial boiler and open at each end outside of the ducting.
Construction Features
Inside the ducting, the hot furnace gases pass through the preheater tubes, transferring heat from the exhaust gas to the air inside the air preheater. A fan then forces ambient air through ducting from one end of the air preheater tubes to the other end. The air inside of the tubes is then heated and emerges into another set of ducting, which carries it into the industrial boiler furnace for combustion.
Overcoming problems
The tubular air preheater ducting for cold and hot air requires more space and structural supports than a rotating air preheater design. Further, due to dust-laden abrasive flue gases, the tubes outside the ducting wear out faster on the side facing the gas current. Because of these issues, Industrial Boilers America offers only the best ceramic and hardened steel parts to help with extra support.

frequently asked questions
An air preheater is a device used in steam boilers to heat the air before it enters the furnace. By recycling waste heat from flue gases, it helps increase boiler efficiency, save energy, and reduce fuel consumption. This leads to significant cost savings and a more eco-friendly operation.
Air preheaters work by using heat from the exhaust gases of a boiler to warm up the incoming air. This preheated air is then supplied to the boiler, reducing the need for additional fuel to raise its temperature, which means better fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Industrial Boilers America is dedicated to sustainable solutions. Our air preheaters not only increase efficiency but also lower emissions, helping companies meet environmental regulations while boosting performance.
If you’re seeing high fuel costs or lower boiler efficiency, it might be time to consider an air preheater. Older systems, in particular, benefit from retrofitting with modern air preheater technology to improve performance.
Yes! Our team at Industrial Boilers America conducts in-depth assessments of your boiler system to determine the right upgrades, including air preheaters. We’ll help you identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and fuel savings.
