Resumo: | Simulation and modeling of thermal recuperative incinerators may play an important role in enhancing efficiency and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. In this context, the primary objective of this study is to simulate and comprehensively understand the operation of a geometrically complex thermal recuperative incinerator with an integrated preheater featuring varying levels of heat recovery. To achieve this objective, a simple yet effective 0D model was developed. This modeling approach allows for a holistic evaluation of the performance of the incinerator, enabling the assessment of key parameters, such as temperatures and heat transfer rates, under varying operating conditions. Successful validation of the model is established by comparing its results with measurements from an industrial thermal recuperative incinerator in operation at a vehicle assembly plant, with maximum relative differences of around 9%. Simulations for different percentages of flue gases bypassing the preheater were conducted, indicating a good compromise between heat transfer and pressure drop and a 22% heat recovery at around 50%. The model presented in this paper provides a robust foundation for comprehensively assessing and optimizing the performance of thermal recuperative incinerators and systems that comprise thermal recuperative incinerators, with implications for waste management and sustainable energy recovery systems. |

To achieve this objective, a simple yet effective 0D model was developed. This modeling approach allows for a holistic evaluation of the performance of the incinerator, enabling the assessment of key parameters, such as temperatures and heat transfer rates, under varying operating conditions. Successful validation of the model is established by comparing its results with measurements from an industrial thermal recuperative incinerator in operation at a vehicle assembly plant, with maximum relative differences of around 9%.
