Abstract

Energy sector is one of the important areas in the economic development of any country. Meeting the growing demands at acceptable costs in various sectors like industries, commercial, transport etc. is challenge to energy planner. The present work is an account of energy and exergy losses and distribution in Heat Exchanger of captive power plant of M/S Vardhaman Acrylics ltd, Jhagadia, Bharuch, Gujarat, India. This plant consists of 5.5 MW turbine-generator set with two extraction points which supply the heat energy to meet process demand. The steam is generated in 1?42 TPH capacity 45 kg/cm2 pressure, atmospheric pressure fluidized bed combustion boiler supplied by M/S Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Ltd,Pune ,India. The complete energy & exergy analysis of Heat Exchanger is carried out based on massive data collection over a period of three months. The energetic and exergetic losses of various components & suggestion for improving energetic & exergetic efficiency of the plant form core of this work.
