In my unit I have a process stream which is rejecting heat to the atmosphere through an air cooler from 164 Deg C to 100 Deg C. I was wondering if I can use this heat to preheat the Fuel Oil / Fuel Gas to furnace. Both the above utilities are received at the unit battery limit at ambient temperature. My question are:
1. Will there be any substantial benefit in increase in the fuel temperature?
2. Will it call for a modification in the burners?
Any other things I should consider before implementing the same?
thanks
