Performance of reheating furnaces equipped with highly preheated air. Final report

Birgitta Lindblad

Burner using highly preheated air combustion (HPAC) technology and designed to produce low NOx emissions, have characteristics that are different to those of conventional burners. This has potential implications for the performance of steel reheating furnaces. The aims of this project have been to test the effectiveness and long-term reliability of HPAC burners. Jernkontoret, SSAB Tunnplåt and MEFOS have collaborated in the project. The project is a part of a ECSCproject.
