The present invention fills a long-felt need for an improved phenol-furan resin composition used as a chimney liner with reduced combustibility, and for the preparation of pre-impregnated fiber-reinforced composite material and its use. The invention shows a higher tolerance for certain conditions that are damaging to other resin compositions including higher heat tolerance and higher tolerance for flue gases and other compounds.

The present invention discloses a high-temperature fluid transporting pipeline integrating a heat exchange apparatus, wherein heat contained in a high-temperature fluid can be recovered during the transportation thereof. The heat exchange apparatus comprises a hermetic heat exchange cavity, and a heat-receiving fluid coil installed therein. The method of heat exchange is that the high-temperature fluid heats an auxiliary fluid in the cavity via a heat exchange base plate of the heat exchange cavity in contact therewith, and the heated auxiliary fluid then conducts the heat to a heat-receiving fluid in the heat-receiving fluid coil. As an example, the high-temperature fluid is flue gas generated by combustion, an upper part of a flue gas transporting pipeline is replaced by the heat exchange apparatus of the present invention, the auxiliary fluid is an inert gas such as air, and the air heated indirectly by the high-temperature flue gas conducts heat to fuel and/or oxygen-enriched gas flowing in the heat-receiving fluid coil (as an oxidant/combustion aid).

A joint seal system and method may include a seal and a band. The seal may be positioned between abutting flanges of two adjacent duct sections. A band may be positioned over the two flanges and the flange interface. The joint seal system and method may be configured to mitigate and/or eliminate leakage of pressure, flue gases, condensate, and/or any other fluid, gas, and/or vapor between abutting flanges of duct sections at a flange interface.

A heat exchange flue, having a top flue gas chamber (1), a bottom flue gas chamber (10) and a heat exchange section (H) located therebetween. The heat exchange section (H) comprises a heat exchange tube bundle (4) located in the middle, and a left side flue (5) and a right side flue (12) which are located at two sides of the heat exchange tube bundle (4). The axis of the heat exchange tube bundle (4) is positioned in a vertical plane extending substantially forward and backward, allowing the flue gas to laterally flush against the surfaces of heat exchange tubes. The left and right side flues (5, 12) are in a vertical box shape, the flues are each provided with a plurality of flue gas dampers (3) which are vertically arranged at intervals in a substantially horizontal alignment. Each of the flue gas dampers (3) is provided with a flue gas damper frame (13) for defining a flue gas port (2) and a flue gas port opening/closing device capable of selectively opening and closing the flue gas port (2). The flue gas damper frames (13) are hollow out and horizontally arranged, and have an outer contour consistent with the sectional shape of the left and right side flues (5, 12), the peripheral edges thereof are respectively connected to a peripheral flue gas wall in an airtight manner, and the parts thereof corresponding to the heat exchange tube bundle (4) are connected to a substantially horizontal flue gas shield plate (6) in an airtight manner. The flue structure can adjust the working load to the greatest extent to ensure the flue gas temperature and prevent condensation.
