1 Fired Heater Design and Simulation Mahesh N. Jethva 1, C. G. Bhagchandani 2 1 M.E. Chemical Engineering Department, L.D. College of Engineering, Ahmedabad Associate Professor, Chemical Engineering Department, L.D. College of Engineering, Ahmedabad Abstract- In fired heaters, heat is released by combustion of fuels into an open space and transferred to process fluids inside tubes. The tubes are ranged along the walls and roof of the combustion chamber. The heat is transferred by direct radiation and convection and also by reflection from refractory walls lining the chamber. The design and rating of a fired heater is a moderately complex operation. Here forced draft fired heater, which is fired by fuel gas, has been treated. For that all required equations and generalizations are listed from different fired heater design methods as per requirement. A fired heater design calculations are performed using Microsoft Excel Programming software and the same fired heater data are used in HTRI simulation software for simulation and comparision purpose. Keywords- Radiant heat transfer, Convective heat transfer, Shield section, Heat balance, HTRI simulation, Comparision. I. Introduction A fired heater is a direct-fired heat exchanger that uses the hot gases of combustion to raise the temperature of a feed flowing through coils of tubes aligned throughout the heater. Depending on the use, these are also called furnaces or process heaters. Some heaters simply deliver the feed at a predetermined temperature to the next stage of the reaction process; others perform reactions on the feed while it travels through the tubes. Fired heaters are used throughout hydrocarbon and chemical processing industries such as refineries, gas plants, petrochemicals, chemicals and synthetics, olefins, ammonia and fertilizer plants. Most of the unit operations require one or more fired heaters as start-up heater, fired reboiler, cracking furnace, process heater, process heater vaporizer, crude oil heater or reformer furnace. Heater fuels include light ends (e.g. refinery gas from the crude units and reformers as well as waste gases blended with natural gas. Residual fuels such as tar, pitch, and Bunker C (heavy oil are also used. Combustion air flow is regulated by positioning the stack damper. Fuel to the burners is regulated from exit feed temperature and firing rate is determined by the level of production desired. A typical fired heater will have following four sections: (1 Radiant section, (2 Shield section, (3 Convection section, and (4 Breeching and stack. A fired heater may be a box (rectangular c/s or vertical (cylindrical c/s in shape. Same way, a fired heater may be classified depending on location of the burners and type of the draft. II. Radiant Section Design A. Radiant Heat Transfer in Radiant Section: Applying basic radiation concepts to process-type heater design, Lobo & Evans developed a generally applicable rating method that is followed with various modifications, by many heater designers. Direct radiation in the radiant section of a direct fired heater can be described by the equation shown below. Q = σαa F(T T Q = Radiant heat transfer, Btu/hr σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant, 0.173E-8 Btu/ft 2 -hr-r 4 α = Relative effectiveness factor of the tube bank A = Cold plane area of the tube bank, ft 2 F = Exchange factor T = Effective gas temperature in firebox, R T = Average tube wall temperature, R B. Heat Balance In The Radiant Section: There are four primary sources of heat input as well as four sources of heat output to the radiant section. We can now set up the heat balance equation as follows: Q + Q + Q + Q = Q + Q + Q + Q Q = heat liberated by fuel, Btu/hr (LHV Q = sensible heat of combustion air, Btu/hr Q = sensible heat of steam used for oil atomization, Btu/hr Q = sensible heat of recirculated flue gases, Btu/hr Q = heat absorbed by radiant tubes, Btu/hr Q = Radiant heat to shield tubes, Btu/hr Q = heat loss in firebox through furnace walls, bridgewall, casing, etc., Btu/hr Q = heat of flue gases leaving the radiant section, Btu/hr ISSN: Page 159

Total Heat Transfer in Radiant Section (if Shield Section is present: The total heat transfer in firebox when shield section is present will be as follows: Q = σ( A + σ αa F(T T + Q + Q Q = Convective heat transfer to radiant tubes, Btu/hr Q = Convective heat transfer to shield tubes, Btu/hr III.

HTRI Introduction HTRI Xchanger Suite 6.0 combines in a single graphical user environment the design, rating, and simulation of fired heaters (Xfh. Xfh simulates the behavior of fired heaters. The program calculates the performance of the radiant section for cylindrical and box (cabin heaters and the convection section of fired heater. It also designs process heater tubes using API 530 and performs combustion calculations. Xfh contains different calculation modules to simulate the different parts of a fired heater. One can run these modules separately or in combination to model part or all of a fired heater. VI. Comparision of given/calculated data and simulated data The following table of comparision between given or calculated data or results and simulated results proves that the prepared design module is trustable tool for fired heater design.
