2 Carl Vance Purina Boiler Efficiency Team Members and Roles Members and Roles Ryan Cook Ryan Cook Documenter and Secretary Kofi Cobbinah Team Leader and Website Manager Carl Vance Communicator and Historian Matt Bishop Financial Officer and Mediator

3 Carl Vance Summary Client Introduction Project Description Our Design Mathematical Model ScheduleBudgetConclusion

4 Carl Vance Our Client – Nestlé Purina Client contact is John Cain Client contact is John Cain Manager of Engineering at the Flagstaff Plant. Purina as a company: Flagstaff Plant opened in 1975 Employs 180 people Purina is now a division of Nestlé Foods

5 Carl Vance Purina Steam System The boiler produces approximately 500,000 lbm of steam per day. 40%: cooking products. 50%: drying products. 10%: miscellaneous areas: air and water heating systems. Steam production is 2/3 of the plant's total energy use.

6 Carl Vance Project Description Problem Definition Nestlé Purina has requested a proposal for a combustion air pre-heater. The goal of the project is to provide savings for the plant by reducing energy costs and improving efficiency in the steam system. Nestlé Purina has requested a proposal for a combustion air pre-heater. The goal of the project is to provide savings for the plant by reducing energy costs and improving efficiency in the steam system. Justification for the project is cost reduction and fuel conservation through higher efficiency. Justification for the project is cost reduction and fuel conservation through higher efficiency.

7 Carl Vance Project Description Client’s Needs Statement: Design of a combustion air preheater must be: Efficient Economically Feasible Minimize Modifications to Existing Systems

8 Carl Vance Our Design Philosophy Finish Design and Construction Under Budget. Satisfy the Client’s Requirements. Design for Safety. Act with Integrity.

9 Carl Vance What is a Combustion Air Preheater Device or system that heats the boiler intake air. Uses recaptured waste heat to that would normally leave the boiler to the atmosphere.

10 Ryan Cook Design Choice Final Design Choice: Concentric Duct Design Concentric Duct Design Air enters into a duct that surrounds the stack. The stack transfers heat to the air by convection and radiation. The air enters into the boiler at a higher temperature.

11 Ryan Cook Preheater Design Basics

12 Ryan Cook Design Benefits Concentric Duct Design Will Provide: Relatively Low Installation Cost Relatively Low Installation Cost Low Material Costs Low Material Costs Low Impact on Existing Systems Low Impact on Existing Systems High Payback on Investment High Payback on Investment Low Maintenance Costs Low Maintenance Costs

13 Ryan Cook Specifications to date The stack height is 4.3 meters, which fixes our duct height and will provide our surface area for heat transfer. Duct diameter will be 1.15 meters to optimize forced convection.
