Country
Japan

This is a waste gas sensible heat recovery system from sinter cooler to generate electric energy. The system is composed of dust collector, waste heat recovery boiler as steam, circulation fan and power generator by steam turbine.
The values of cost and effect are obtained from a system configuration of two identical sintering machines, coolers each equipped with waste heat recovery boiler and one unit of electric power generator, to which the steam from two boilers is led.
