    3. Heat exchangers in pressurized areas

    3.1 Exchanger types

    From a schematic point of view, a combustion boiler can be reduced to two groups of components:

    • a furnace to convert the potential energy contained in the fuel (calorific value) into hot gases and radiation;

    • heat exchangers used primarily to transfer the energy contained in these gases to water in liquid or vapor form, for use in a thermodynamic cycle to generate electricity.

    As a general rule, for the calculation and design of heat exchangers used in boilers, please refer to [B 2 340] at [B 2 345]...
