Abstract:
Using Aspen Hysys to simulate burners and furnaces has been the focus of several studies in recent years. According to the studies and investigations carried out in the field of optimal design of the furnace, heating the air is one of the possible tasks to improve the performance and increase the efficiency. According to the obtained results, by adding air preheat, the efficiency increases from 92% to 96%. Also, to validate the simulation, two furnaces from Sepahan Oil Refinery furnaces were simulated in the field of oil production, which were simulated with an error of less than 1% in duty calculation, and according to the general results obtained, adding air preheat can increase the amount It reduces the fuel and when the cost of fuel is high, it helps to make its operation economical
