source; ö is the waste heat lost to the environment; η is the Carnot efficiency; TH is the temperature of the waste heat source; and TO is the ambient temperature, 77°F [25°C]. 2.2.3 Temperature and Material Selection The temperature of the waste heat source also has important ramifications for material selection in heat exchangers and recovery systems. Corrosion and oxidation reactions, like all chemical reactions, are accelerated dramatically by temperature increases. If the waste heat source contains corrosive substances, the heat recovery surfaces can quickly become damaged. In addition, carbon steel at temperatures above 800°F [425oC] and stainless steel above 1,200°F [650oC] begins to oxidize. Therefore, advanced alloys or composite materials must be used at higher temperatures. Metallic materials are usually not used at temperatures above 1,600°F [871oC]. Alternatives include either bleeding dilution air into the exhaust gases to lower the exhaust temperature, or using ceramic materials that can better withstand the high temperature. In the case of air bleeding, the quantity of heat contained in the exhaust stream remains constant, but the quality is reduced due to the temperature drop. 2.3 Waste Stream Composition Although chemical compositions do not directly influence the quality or quantity of the available heat (unless it has some fuel value), the composition of the stream affects the recovery process and material selection. The composition and phase of waste heat streams will determine factors such as thermal conductivity and heat capacity, which will impact heat exchanger effectiveness. Meanwhile, the process­ specific chemical makeup of off­gases will have an important impact on heat exchanger designs, material constraints, and costs. Heat transfer rates in heat exchangers are dependent on the composition and phase of waste heat streams, as well as influenced by the deposition of any fouling substances on the heat exchanger. Denser fluids have higher heat transfer coefficients, which enables higher heat transfer rates per unit area for a given temperature difference (Table 5).

Fouling is a common problem in heat exchange, and can substantially reduce heat exchanger effectiveness or cause system failure. Figure 3 displays an abandoned recuperator previously used in an aluminum­melting furnace. Deposition of substances on the heat exchanger surface can reduce heat transfer rates as well as inhibit fluid flow in the exchanger. In other cases, it will degrade the heat exchanger such that it can no longer be used. Methods for addressing fouling are numerous and include filtering contaminated streams, constructing the exchanger with advanced materials, increasing heat exchanger surface areas, and designing the heat exchanger for easy access and cleaning. Nevertheless, the problem of fouling remains a significant challenge in thermal science.
