Energy, 2016, vol. 99, issue C, 304-314

Abstract: This paper presents the results of techno-economical analysis of a proposal of the utilization of TFT (triple-finned tubes) in a boiler's tube banks. The following three tube bank arrangements were compared: (A) the base – staggered plain tube bank; (B) the combination of triple-finned and plain tubes – two rows of triple-finned tubes every 10 rows; (C) the alternating tube bank, where half of the plain tubes were replaced by triple-finned tubes in an in-line arrangement.
