Recuperators

Recuperation Offers Fuel Savings, Reduced Emissions

High fuel costs and increasingly stringent emissions regulations make it more important than ever to reduce energy consumption and exhaust emissions related to your heat treating process.

Fight back against rising fuel costs by adding recuperation to your heat treating furnace systems.

Recuperators work by recapturing the thermal energy that is normally exhausted into the atmosphere thru the furnace flue exhaust. Instead of releasing heat as waste, it is recaptured and used as a preheat in the combustion system, and significant fuel savings can result. How much is significant? Verified data show the potential fuel savings amount to 15% to 25%! And with a payback period on average of 1 to 1.5 years, it makes sense to contact AFC-Holcroft to learn more.

AFC-Holcroft offers two styles of Recuperation, suitable for most types and makes of furnace equipment, regardless of manufacturer.

We offer the AFC-Holcroft EM Style (stack type) and IN-SITU (plug-in style) recuperators - one is most likely appropriate for your heat treating furnace.
