These heat exchangers transfer waste heat to other media through conduction and convection to improve energy efficiency. However, heat exchangers in the existing technology usually rely on fixed parameters for operation and lack real-time feedback and adjustment mechanisms, resulting in low heat recovery efficiency. In addition, the heat requirements of each process step in the aluminizing process are different, but the existing system cannot flexibly adjust the heat distribution, often resulting in some steps having too much heat and others having insufficient heat.

In order to solve these problems, this invention proposes a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly aluminizing machine device that combines waste heat recovery and utilization.
