Manufacture of the flue gas cooler for the AWG Wuppertal WtE plant
Project:Heat recovery RGVR lines 31 and 34
Kunde: AWG Wuppertal
A heat recovery system for flue gases was installed on RGVR lines 31 and 34 installed at the AWG Wuppertal WtE plant. The heat is removed from the flue gases through a flue gas cooler, transferred to a water circuit in a closed system and is used to increase the temperature of the district heating water. The heat recovery system's task is to cool the flue gas exiting at about 220°C to a level of about 160°C before it is undergoes further purification. The heat extraction replaces steam heating and helps to increase the amount of electricity generated by the steam turbine.
