The Benefit Of Modeling Integrated Components
• By modeling the boiler, burner, heat y g , ,recovery, and other components together, more accurate calculations for the values of velocity temperature chemical species velocity, temperature, chemical species, and other properties are determined from the boundary conditions

2. Furnace GeometryImportant Considerations
• Balance of high heat transfer of the radiant gzone while minimizing pressure
• Lower and more uniform flame temperature and flame stability in the furnace
• Reduce heat release rates of the furnace• Current firetube average is 150,000 BTU/hr/cubic feet
![Page 14: CBEX Firetube Line](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051213/55a3c1cb1a28ab6e538b4592/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Furnace GeometryCleaver-Brooks Answer To Furnace Optimization
• Maximized the heat transfer with the lowest possible pressure drop
• Lower heat release rate enables a more uniform flame temperature
• Reduced furnace heat release rates to release rates to 125,000 BTU/hr/cubic feet

3. Combustion PerformanceExcess Air Is An Important Factor
• Some excess air needed to reduce unwanted emissions and surface fouling
• Controlling excess air reduces flame instability
• Too much excess air causes a decrease in efficiency
• An ideal balance calls for a 15% excess air level

Optimized Combustion Results In Lower NOx
• Optimized furnace provides lower heat release and near-perfect combustion
• Combined with the Hawk, emissions are reduced to unprecedented levels
• Prior to the CBEX, sub-5 ppm NOx without SCR had never been achieved
