Industrial furnaces devices considered

Lists of Devices That Are Considered to Be Incinerators and Industrial Furnaces... 

An industrial furnace is a unit that is an integral part of a manufacturing process and uses thermal treatment to recover materials or energy. The 12 devices that are considered to be industrial furnaces can be found in Table 23.1. An example of such industrial furnaces23 is shown in Figure 23.2. 

There are six components that may be important in industrial combustion processes (see Figure 1.16). One component is the burner that combusts the fuel with an oxidizer to release heat. Another component is the load itself that can greatly affect how the heat is transferred from the flame. In most cases, the flame and the load are located inside of a combustor, which may be a furnace, heater, dryer, or kiln that is the third component in the system. In some cases, there may be some type of heat recovery device to increase the thermal efficiency of the overall combustion system, which is the fourth component of the system. The fifth component is the flow control system used to meter the fuel and the oxidant to the burners. The sixth and last component is the air pollution control system used to minimize the pollutants emitted from the exhaust stack into the atmosphere. The first four system components are considered next. 

Refractories are considered to be corrosion-resistant to melts and gases in furnaces and high-temperature devices. As mentiOTied in Sect. 1.6, approximately one third of refractories are damaged because of poor thermal shock resistance at temperatures sufficiently lower than refractoriness. Most likely, this ratio for the refractories in the A1 industry and the decay of the refractories due to corrosiiMi are even higher.
