Brick Kilns
Reuse, recycle and recover waste heat energy from your brick kilns to power your businessBrick kiln exhaust temperatures will reach 200oC during the initial stage of the drying process. The kiln exhaust temperatures will then fire up to around 1000oC and a variety of toxic components such as halogens, chlorides and fluorides are released posing potential for material attack in both gas and liquid phases.
Operational’s air-to-air heat exchangers are constructed from special stainless steel to resist corrosion. However, due to the impurities present, control of the heat exchanger’s internal skin temperatures is important to ensure condensation is minimised. Recovered hot air is re-used as pre-heated make-up air and combustion air for the kiln operation. A return on investment is provided in under two years.
