What is an application of flue gas?

About the most common application of flue gas is as a heat source. Recall that flue gas is the stack gas from plants fired with combustibles (coal, oil, gas, biomass, etc.), and it exhausts into the atmosphere. We spend a lot of money monitoring stack gas to keep the combustion process as tightly controlled as possible. That minimized emissions. The heat in the stack gas can be used to heat water or the like, and the preheated water can then be fed back into the boilers to create the steam that drives the turbines that generate electric power (which is one example, but a common one). The heating of the (boiler) feedwater with the flue gas increases the efficiency of the whole operation. It's classic steam cycle power generation, and the preheating of feedwater within the stack (by the flue gas) is a time-proven tactic to reduce costs.


What is the meaning of flue gas?

Flue gas is a type of exhaust gas that exits the atmosphere through a pipe often called a flue. Flue gas can be seen exiting power plants, a fireplace, oven, boiler or steam generator.


What does a flue gas desulphurisation plant do?

A flue gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant removes Sulphur Dioxide from the flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere and hence reduces our impact on the environment.


Why doesn't smoke fill the entire house when a fireplace is lit?

The hot air from the fire is less dense than the rest of the air in the house, and is pushed upward into the flue. As the flue fills with hot less-dense gas the pressure difference expelling it increases, and it draws additional hot gasses (smoke) into the flue as the column of gas in the flue rises. When the hot gas exits the flue, its still less dense than the air around it and continues to rise away from the house.


What is a vented fireplace?

What is the purpose of a bypass on an industrial boiler economiser?

If the boiler fuel contains Sulphur (and most do) combustion products in the flue gas will include Oxides of Sulphur (SO2 and SO3). SO3 combines with water (H2O) to make Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4). If the temperature of the flue gas falls below the dew point, the combination of the acid with the moisture in the flue gas causes corrosion of the flue gas duct work. Bypassing the economiser in the early stages of a boiler start keeps the flue gas temperature above the dew point.


Flue gas analysis by Orsat apparatus?

An Orsat gas analyzer is a piece of equipment used in labs to analyze gas samples including flue gas. The Orsat analyzes the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide content of the gas.
