The study described in this paper concerns the forging industry, where the production processes generally start with the heating of steel in furnaces, and continue with other processes, such as heat treatments and different forms of machining. One of the most critical operations, in terms of energy loss, is the opening of the furnace doors for insertion and extraction operations. During this time, the temperature of the furnaces decreases by hundreds of degrees in a few minutes. Because the dispersed heat needs to be supplied again through the combustion of fuel, increasing the consumption of energy and the pollutant emissions, the evaluation of the amount of lost energy is crucial for the development of systems which can contain this loss.

Recent advances in this technology have demonstrated significant energy savings, high and uniform thermal field, low pollution, and the possibility for downsizing the equipment for a range of furnace applications. Moreover, the technology has shown promise for wider applications in various processes and power industries. The objectives of this thesis are to analyze the thermodynamic aspects of this novel combustion technology and to quantify the enhancement in efficiency and heat transfer inside a furnace in order to explore the potentials for reduced thermodynamic irreversibility of a combustion process and reduced energy consumption in an industrial furnace.

As they need a great amount of energy to achieve the temperature required for heating and melting processes, many researchers have been focused on the minimization of the energy consumption. This energy optimization implies improvements, not only in the competitiveness, but also in environmental and cost performances of the process. This paper shows briefly the challenges for industrial furnaces under VULKANO project focused on the development of five approaches from the point of view of efficiency, flexibility, reliability and safety: improving refractories, investigating new recovery systems based on PCM, using alternative fuels, integrating advanced monitoring and control devices and, finally, developing a holistic tool to help the operator to make decisions.

This analysis is carried out in Ansys approach or mixed finite element and boundary element Workbench software and the results are compared with the approaches. [8] analytical results. From the result, we can reduce 48% losses from properties optimization and 64 % by geometrical optimization. Optimum geometry and properties of ramming mass can reduce total 60% losses with optimum thickness and properties of material of induction furnace. Keywords: Optimization, induction furnace Introduction Induction heating processes have become increasingly used in these last years in industry. The main advantages of using these processes when compared to any other heating process (gas furnace.) are, among others, their fast heating rate, good reproducibility and low energy consumption.

  • 2. Energy Performance Assessment of Furnaces
    2. ENERGY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF FURNACES 2.1 Industrial Heating Furnaces Furnace is by definition a device for heating materials and therefore a user of energy. Heating furnaces can be divided into batch-type (Job at stationary position) and continuous type (large volume of work output at regular intervals). The types of batch furnace include box, bogie, cover, etc. For mass production, continuous furnaces are used in general. The types of continu- ous furnaces include pusher-type furnace (Figure 2.1), walking hearth-type furnace, rotary hearth and walking beam-type furnace.(Figure 2.2) The primary energy required for reheating / heat treatment (say annealing) furnaces are in the form of Furnace oil, LSHS, LDO or electricity Figure 2.1: Pusher-Type 3-Zone Reheating Furnace Figure 2.2: Walking Beam-Type Reheating Furnace 2.2 Purpose of the Performance Test To find out the efficiency of the furnace To find out the Specific energy consumption The purpose of the performance test is to determine efficiency of the furnace and specific energy consumption for comparing with design values or best practice norms. There are many factors affecting furnace performance such as capacity utilization of furnaces, excess air ratio, final heating temperature etc. It is the key for assessing current level of performances and find- ing the scope for improvements and productivity. Heat Balance of a Furnace Heat balance helps us to numerically understand the present heat loss and efficiency and improve the furnace operation using these data. Thus, preparation of heat balance is a pre-requirement for assessing energy conservation potential.
