The 100% stainless steel construction of this heat exchanger can handle the high level of moisture without corrosion. Function: This EXO engineered and built heat exchanger system takes an exhaust with a temperature of 175 F (79 C) and uses it to send pre-heated fresh air to the burner at 140 F (60 C). At this point the burner needs only to boost the temperature for the spray dryer. As a result, the burner is running at a lower rate, using less energy and saving fuel. Recovery: This process is operating 8,000 hours per year. By recovering MMBtu/hour this system is delivering $615,000 per year in energy savings - EVEN AT THE CURRENTLY LOW GAS RATE OF $7/MMBtu! For spray dryers the air flow can be very low - or very high. The payback will still be there! NOTE: Companies in the food and pharmaceutical industries are using spray dryers! With this kind of payback, even when natural gas prices are low, the decision to add an EXO heat exchanger is a no-brainer! Look for prospects in, or supplying to, these industries. Remember... no matter what the economy is doing, people still eat, and they need their meds!
