Project: Belchatów Block 7, lignite
Customer: PGE S.A. / Belchatów / Poland
Operator: PGE S.A. / Belchatów / Poland
The cross-flow heat exchangers for Block 7 of the Belchatów power plant is designed for large volumes of flue gas. In the Gas/Gas Heat Exchanger, the raw gas is passed through a filter and the heat exchanger tubes and the purified clean gas is directly heated by the raw gas, which has not yet been cooled in the scrubber. 16 modules were installed in 2 rows, which were fitted with Ø185mm AlWaFlon® pipes. The specially designed pipe compensators compensate for pipe expansion at high temperatures.
