What is the function Air heater in the boiler? Correct Answer Recover the heat from flue gas

Function of air preheater is to recover the heat of a portion of exhaust flue gases before the flue gases enter the chimney. It is places along the passage of the exhaust flue gases in between the economizer and the chimney.

The following question consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly. S1: A single device can heat fluids without requiring an electrical element. S6: Because there is no electrical element, there is no risk of fire, so the system is suitable for dangerous environments. P: A heat exchanger transfers heat from the central cavity to an air heater, a water heater or an industrial processor. Q: It has a container like the crankcase of a car’s engine, which contains the fluid to be heated. R: Compression and friction at the nozzles heat the fluid so that the temperature in the central -cavity rises steadily. S: A motor and pulley inside the container turn a rotor wheel, which in turn forces the fluid again and again through narrow nozzles into a central cavity. The proper sequence should be
