Procedure of Analysis and Control of Furnace Energy Efficiency.

This article describes the procedure of analysis and control of energy efficiency of continuous heating furnace based on establishment of direct functional dependence of specific fuel flowrate for metal heating on furnace structural and technological parameters. Using this procedure, it is possible to arrange lines of power consumptions of industrial furnaces in order to solve the issues of normalization of fuel flowrate, compilation of gas balance, diagnostics of furnace state, verification of reasonability of selected parameters of temperature rate mode. At the stage of furnace designing, this procedure allows to determine structural parameters allowing to achieve the preset level of specific fuel flowrate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
