Ganapathy (1989) stated that the calculated dew point temperature for
sulphurous acid was lower by 6K and that of sulphuric acid was lower by
9K than published data.

Conclusion

Conclusion
The qualitative observation at the cold end of a twin-flow Rothemhle
air-heater showed that the primary section was more blocked than the
secondary section.
The QEMSCAN and RAMAN results of the air-heater deposits showed
that AlSi-sulphate, kaolinite, cenospheres and Al(Si)-sulphate were
the four most dominating minerals/phases.
Using RAH simulation model, the plate temperatures of the primary
section were observed to be lower than those of the secondary
section.
It was determined that approximately 35.8% and 25.3% of the rotor
volume percentage would be exposed to temperatures below the dew
point of H

Conclusion
Therefore, soot blowing would not be effective for hardened deposition
able to dislodge the solid from the air-heater plates.
RAH is a very useful tool
And CFD as well
