Air Heater Analysis

Tale Of The Tool
This tool calculates the leakage percentage in a regenerative air heater and estimates the economic impact of its bypassed air relative to the manufacturer’s specified leakage rate. By doing so, the unavoidable operational cost inherent to the unit’s design is not unfairly assessed against its peformance.

In addition, the tool evaluates the cost associated with any observed decline in the heater's effectiveness. When combined, the leakage and effectiveness losses provide a comprehensive view of the air heater’s total economic impact on a plant's performance.
