Abstract:
A method for controlled operation of a heated industrial furnace having a furnace chamber is provided. Fuel is conducted into the furnace chamber virtually without combustion air and a gaseous oxygen carrier is also conducted. The supply of fuel and the gaseous oxygen carrier is controlled by a control loop. A first adjustable manipulated variable in the form of a flow of fuel and/or a second adjustable manipulated variable in the form of a flow of the gaseous oxygen carrier is set by a final controlling element. In the control loop, an energy requirement is determined and fed to a quantitative control and to a quantitative fuel control for the fuel. The flow of the gaseous oxygen carrier is determined as a process value of a flow of the gaseous oxygen carrier and the flow of fuel is determined as a process value of a volumetric flow of fuel.
Abstract:
Provided are an exhaust gas processing system and method capable of effectively utilizing the sensible heat of an exhaust gas for preheating air for burner combustion in a rotary hearth type reducing furnace while preventing troubles caused by adhesion of dust such as blockage in an exhaust gas processing facility for a rotary hearth type reducing furnace and corrosive deterioration in the facility without increasing the facility costs excessively. The system comprises a radiant heat exchanger 2 for heat exchange between an exhaust gas exhausted from the rotary hearth type reducing furnace and air. The radiant heat exchanger 2 includes an inner cylinder 22 made of metal surrounding a space through which the exhaust gas flows; an outer cylinder 21 disposed on an outer side in a radial direction of the inner cylinder to define a flow channel between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder 21 for allowing the air to flow so as to exchange heat with the exhaust gas; and a highly thermal conductive refractory 23 applied to an inner side of the inner cylinder 22 so as to cover an inner surface thereof.
Abstract:
A non-oxidation heat treatment system having internal Rx gas (endothermic gas) generator includes: a heat treatment furnace whose internal environment kept to an atmosphere of an Rx gas; internal reformers for accommodating reaction catalysts for generating the Rx gas; material supply means for mixing raw gas as a material for generating the Rx gas and air to a given ratio to supply the mixture to the internal reformers; heating means disposed in the heat treatment furnace to heat an internal temperature of the heat treatment furnace to a temperature needed for annealing; and a controller disposed on the outside to control the internal temperature of the heat treatment furnace through the control of the ON/OFF and combustion loads of the of the heating means, wherein the internal reformers are loaded to the interior of the heat treatment furnace and the heating means includes regenerative type radiant tube burners.
