Evaluation of selected advanced heat exchangers for waste heat recuperation of high temperature streams

This document discusses the design, functional and cost requirements for high-temperature, heat recovery systems (recuperators) and describes the state-of-the-art systems, emerging industrial technologies and new concepts developed by EG and G Idaho, Inc. All systems/concepts are then evaluated and compared with respect to corrosion/durability, fouling, performance, operation and maintenance, and economics.
