Abstract: The macroporous ceramic membrane module can effectively recover the moisture and heat from flue gas in thermal power plants, which is helpful for energy saving and clean production in thermal power plants. However, most related research stays in the laboratory stage, lacking corresponding theoretical calculation models and engineering application cases. Therefore, this paper establishes the heat and mass transfer model for describing the moisture recovering process, which can be used to predict the moisture and heat recovery performance in the actual engineering situations. The calculation results show that the errors between the calculated and the experimental values of the model are within ±10%. Therefore, this model can be used for engineering calculations. Based on the model, the recovery performance of the macroporous ceramic membrane module in a 330MWe thermal power unit is calculated and analyzed to provide theoretical support for the industrial application.
