Abstract
In this paper, the fouling and convection heat transfer characteristics of various flue gas heat exchangers are investigated, and the weakening degrees of fouling on the heat transfer performance of different heat exchangers are compared. The anti-fouling performance of novel H-type finned tube heat exchangers are discussed. The results show that the elliptical tube arrangement can effectively reduce the effect of fouling on heat transfer performance. Overall, SHETB has the best heat transfer and anti-fouling performance. The results of this paper are helpful for the efficient recovery and utilization of dusty flue gas waste heat.
