Torpedo Preheaters
Torpedo Preheaters are used for drying and heating torpedo ladles. Each preheater is unique and is customized according to the client’s needs.
The torpedo ladle is long and cylindrical and as such might require to be designed with two burners, the number of burners depends on the size of the torpedo.
These can be vertical and horizontal types.
We are offering the following additional enhancement:-
- Recuperative Type Preheater: Flue gases exhaust from the ladle at a very high temperature (1000 C and above), We use the heat from flue gasses to preheat the air by using a customized heat exchanger specially designed for Ladle applications and are able to save up to 25% in the running cost.
- Oxy Enrichment: Oxy enrichment is used either to achieve a higher heating temperature of more than 1200 C or to reduce fuel consumption or reduce the cycle time. The energy-saving can vary from 10 to 25% depending upon the level of enrichment.
- Multi-Fuel Fired: All the burners are custom designed and are for specific requirements and as such, we can use multiple types of fuel in the same burner (liquid/Gaseous) without changing the burner, we also supply burners that can fire multiple gaseous.
These systems can be energized by almost all Liquid and Gaseous fuel. We are supplying systems that are using blast furnace gas (800 Kcal/Nm3)
We can offer various types of hood movement for the system using hydraulic, pneumatic, or geared motors.
We can offer highly customized solutions according to your needs.
