Abstract

We have developed the theory for a four-pass air heater. We have also studied the system performance with one, two, and three passes. The effect of the number of glass cover plates on one, two, and three passes has also been investigated. It is shown that the multiple-pass air heater performs well for low flow rates and large plate lengths. For small plate lengths and high flow rates, the addition of cover plates does not affect the performance of two- or three-pass air heaters.
