[Consultation Case] Achieving Energy Savings through Improved Heat Transfer Rate of Air Heaters

A case where the heat transfer rate improved, resulting in a 15% enhancement in heat exchange rate and achieving energy savings.

Here is a case study where we proposed "Kurita Dropwise Technology" to a steel manufacturing plant. In the company's continuous hot-dip galvanizing line, there is an air heater that uses steam heating during the drying process after galvanizing, consuming a large amount of steam. They consulted us to find a way to reduce steam consumption for energy savings. By applying this technology, the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger inside the drying air heater improved, leading to a 15% reduction in steam consumption. [Case Summary (Partial)] ■ Consultation Content - They wanted to improve operations in the continuous hot-dip galvanizing line. ■ Solution - Application of Kurita Dropwise Technology to impart water-repellent properties to the metal surface and suppress water film formation. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
