Abstract:
1. A heat exchanger system, said system comprising: a furnace having means for heating an interior of the furnace and generating exhaust gases in the temperature range of about 4000° F. to 5000° F.; at least one heat exchange panel of piping having a plurality of spray nozzles, said piping mounted on a base plate offset from a front plate, wherein the at least one panel has an inlet and an outlet; an input manifold in fluid communication with the inlet of the at least one panel; an output manifold in fluid communication with the outlet of the at least one panel; the piping being configured to have a cooling fluid flowing through the piping and being sprayed through the nozzles; the piping being located to have the front plate define a portion of the interior of the furnace such that a stream of hot exhaust gases from the furnace flows over the front plate; wherein the spray nozzles direct and disperse the cooling fluid onto the backside of the front plate, thereby providing heat transfer from the front plate to the cooling fluid; and wherein the front plate is comprised of an aluminum bronze alloy.
