SPX Heat Transfer provides engineering,

manufacturing and field services to evaluate

and modernize air and gas preheaters, including

Rothemühle regenerative heat exchangers and other

rotor and stator type air preheaters.

New, improved components, including custom-

designed sealing systems and heating elements, are

incorporated into the preheater upgrades, offering

lower leakage and less wear, better heat efficiency

and less pressure drop and providing excellent

resistance to corrosion, erosion, plugging and

temperature shock.

Advantages of upgrades and modernization to

minimize leakage and air-to-flue gas flow include

plant megawatt savings and significant fan amperage

reduction. The resulting ability to recover previously

lost energy output and provide additional power to

the grid allows payback of the capital investment in a

matter of months.

Evaluation services include:

Component Inspection — recommended interval is

8-12 months prior to next planned outage• Sealing system collar seals

• Levelness of stators/rotors

• Position of shaft

• Condition of sealing system, sector plates, sleeves

• Condition of heating surface

• Cold, intermediate, hot layer

• Adjustment of sealing system

• Efficiency of cleaning system

• Collection of operating values

Modernization services include:

• Design calculations

• Layout design

• Design engineering

• Project management

• Manufacturing supervision

• Quality management

• Manufacturing of key components

• Shipment logistics

• Site supervision

• Commissioning

• Performance testing

• After-sale scheduled inspections and maintenance
