- Notes:
- Values for target waste-heat recovery rate given in the table indicate the recovered heat value as a proportion of the sensible heat value of exhaust gas emitted from the furnace chamber at combustion at near rated load.
- Values for target waste-heat recovery rate given in the table shall not apply to the waste-heat recovery rates of the following industrial furnaces; provided, however, that consideration shall be given to increasing the waste-heat recovery rate based on the table where possible.
- (1) Furnaces with a rated capacity of under 840 MJ.
- (2) Furnaces requiring a special atmosphere for oxidation or reduction.
- (3) Furnaces combusting byproduct gas with a heat value of no more than 3,800 kJ per normal cubic meter.
- (4) Boilers not in operation at regular inspection or otherwise not in regular operation, and boilers used for development, research or trial production.
- Values for waste gas temperature and preheated air temperature given under the Additional information column in the table were determined by calculating the waste gas temperature for waste-heat recovery at the target waste-heat recovery rate and the preheated air temperature for air preheating by such recovered waste heat under the following conditions:
- (1) Temperature reduction of 60°C due to radiated heat loss from the furnace outlet to the heat exchanger for air preheating.
- (2) Diffusion heat of 5% from the heat exchanger.
- (3) Fuel is liquid fuel (heavy oil equivalent).
- (4) Outside air temperature of 20°C.
- (5) Air ratio of 1.2.
