Energy Saving in Furnace

This course is about Energy conservation in furnaces and ovens, It starts with reasons for low efficiency of furnace and goes forward with industrial furnaces and their efficiency evaluation. Losses of furnaces and their overcoming are discussed in detail. Course ends with exhaustive list of energy saving measures and checklist. In this course, some of the methods of conservation of energy in the furnace is given. This 1 hr course is very useful to industry people who are dealing and auditing furnace, kiln or oven.

Benefits of the course

1. Why Efficiency of furnace is very low

2. Parts of Furnace

3. Furnace classification based on heating, loading and material handling

4. Efficiency calculation by Direct and Indirect method

5. Losses in Furnace (e.g The exhaust losses can be reducing and hence reduced fuel consumption by proving minimum excess air for combustion)

6. Energy saving measures for Furnace like

• Improved combustion Process (The optimization of combustion air is most attractive and economical measure of energy conservation)

• Air Preheating

• Oxygen enrichment

• Enhanced heat transfer

• Prevention of heat loss in furnace

• Heat recovery

• Use of advanced technology in Furnace
