Maxim Silencer combined with Heat Recovery
Most of the energy generated by burning fuel in internal combustion engines, both reciprocating and gas turbine, is rejected in the form of heat. For example, a reciprocating engine at full load converts about one-third of the available energy into useful work. The remaining two-thirds are lost in the form of heat to the jacket water, exhaust gas, oil cooler and by radiation to the surroundings. In an installation where this heat can be put to useful purposes, heat recovery can yield attractive savings. Maxim Silencers, Inc. manufactures heat recovery units in a number of models and sizes for a wide range of applications. Silencer Models MFT - Heat Recovery silencer for reciprocating engines. Especially suited for smaller, high speed engines. MBT - Heat recovery silencer for larger reciprocating engines. Modifications allow spark arresting and a high degree of silencing. HSS - Steam separator for use in combination with other heat input equipment. WVS/WHS - Annular jacket type heat recovery silencer for hot water service. Extremely rugged design for mid-size and larger engines where unusually long service life is desirable. BVS - Combination annular jacket (tubeless) heat recovery unit and chamber-type silencer for steam service. Extremely rugged design for mid-size and larger engines where unusually long service life is desirable. Used primarily on the exhaust of a reciprocating engine. GTW - Water tube heat recovery unit used primarily on the exhaust of a gas turbine. SOH - Heat recovery unit for medium to high volume gas flows at low pressure drop. Specially designed to heat fluids to higher temperature levels.
