Flue gas recirculation system for hydrogen boiler – high‑efficiency, low‑emission solution
Our flue gas recirculation system for hydrogen boiler is engineered to capture a portion of the exhaust stream, blend it with fresh combustion air, and return the mixture to the burner. The result is a stable flame, reduced peak flame temperature, and a 30‑40 % drop in NOx formation without compromising boiler output. Designed for on‑site power plants, industrial process heating and district‑energy networks, the system integrates seamlessly with existing hydrogen‑fired units and complies with the latest environmental regulations.
Product Overview
The recirculation unit consists of a high‑temperature stainless‑steel duct, a precision‑rated flow‑control valve, and a compact heat‑exchange module. All components are fabricated to ISO 9001 quality standards and are rated for continuous operation at pressures up to 2 bar(g). The modular design allows rapid field assembly – typically three to five man‑hours – and supports retro‑fit or new‑build installations up to 20 MW thermal output.
How It Works
During normal boiler operation, a portion of the flue gas is diverted through a temperature‑controlled bypass. The gas passes through the heat‑exchange module, where it pre‑heats the incoming combustion air. This pre‑heated air lowers the oxygen‑to‑fuel ratio needed for stable combustion, which in turn reduces excess air losses. By re‑introducing the cooled flue gas back into the burner, the system stabilises the flame front, curbs peak temperatures, and suppresses thermal NOx formation. The closed‑loop control algorithm continuously adjusts the recirculation rate to match load variations, guaranteeing optimal efficiency across the entire duty cycle.

FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a customized flue gas recirculation system?
We accept single‑unit orders for pilot projects; however, volume discounts start at 5 units. All units are built to the same engineering standards, and the MOQ only affects pricing tiers, not technical performance.
Can the system be adapted to different boiler capacities?
Yes. The modular heat‑exchange block and flow‑control valve are available in three standard sizes (0.5 MW, 5 MW, 20 MW). Custom scaling beyond these ranges is supported through engineering consultation and factory‑tested prototypes.
What warranty and after‑sales support are provided?
All units ship with a 24‑month comprehensive warranty covering material and workmanship. Our technical service team offers 24 / 7 remote diagnostics, on‑site commissioning, and spare‑parts logistics worldwide.
How does the system handle high‑temperature, high‑moisture flue gases?
The ductwork is fabricated from AISI 316L stainless steel with a 2 % molybdenum alloying boost for chloride resistance. Optional duplex steel or ceramic‑lined sections are available for extremely aggressive environments, ensuring long‑term corrosion protection.
