Copper smelting furnace, ANDRITZ Maerz works photograph Continuously controlled heating system with cold air and pneumatic ratio control system Modulating control is a cost-effective option for controlling processes. The capacity can be adjusted continuously by activating the air control valve (analogue or 3-point step signal). The pneumatic ratio control system controls the gas pressure proportionally to the air pressure and thus maintains a constant gas/air ratio. At the same time, it acts as an air deficiency cut-out. Adjusting valves and/or butterfly valves are used for limiting the air and...

Bogie hearth furnace, Technocentro works photograph Stage-controlled heating system with cold air and pneumatic ratio control system Staged control with rotary impulse control is an optimal solution for systems requiring a large control range. In the case of cyclical control, the burners are switched on and off or are controlled in High/Low mode. The capacity supplied to the process is controlled by means of a variable ratio of the operating time to the pause time. In this type of control, the burner output pulse frequency always maintains full momentum and maximum convection is obtained in the...

Stage-controlled heating system with self recuperative burner Self recuperative burners feature an integrated heat exchanger (recuperator) to preheat the combustion air. Flue gas and combustion air are fed through a heat exchanger in the opposite direction. Depending on the burner model and mode of operation, 30 % energy savings can be achieved with air preheating up to 700 °C in comparison to cold air burners. Self recuperative burner Ecomax® Self recuperative burners are controlled by a rotary impulse system in staged ON/OFF control mode. A variable gas/air ratio control is used to control...

Roller hearth furnace, Andernach und Bleck works photograph Indirect heating with self recuperative burner and single-ended radiant tube In processes in which the material must not come into contact with the combustion gases or in inert gas furnaces, the heating is performed indirectly with radiant tubes. For optimal energy use, self recuperative burners firing into a single-ended radiant tube or P radiant tube are often installed in this case. The system is controlled by a rotary impulse system with ON/OFF operation of the burners. The burner impulse ensures recirculation of the flue gases in...

Gas-fired processes in the metalworking industry-19

Ceramic flat flame burners for high-temperature processes and air preheating to high temperatures Modern forging furnaces are equipped with flat flame burners to avoid the material coming into contact with the flame and thus prevent local overheating of the material. Due to the special geometry of the burner quarl for flat flame burners, the burner head is exposed to radiation from the furnace chamber. To protect against faults, a metallic burner head must therefore always be cooled with air when the burner is switched off, which leads to an increase in the concentration of oxygen in the furnace...
