摘要:
The method for heating the furnace chamber produces high momentum levels during the heat treating cycle so as to obtain substantially uniform temperature throughout the charge. The method includes initially firing a plurality of high velocity burners at substantially maximum fuel input and in substantially stoichiometric ratio. Thereafter, the fuel input is reduced while maintaining the stoichiometric ratio at least during the high input portion of the cycle. Excess air is introduced external of the combustion zones of the burners on a predetermined signal such as a given fuel input reduction to maintain the desired momentum level within the furnace. The apparatus comprises a high velocity burner having associated therewith an excess air unit for discharging excess air external of the combustion chamber or port block of the burner. The excess air unit can be integral with the burner so as to supply excess air through the burner port block or a separate unit can be provided which is connectable to the burner and about the port block which defines the combustion chamber.

Method and apparatus for feeding an oxidant such as air and/or a fuel rich gas within the confines of a substantially air tight enclosure employed in the heat treatment of volatile containing materials which are deposited on the floor of a rotary hearth mounted within the enclosure. A larger number of air and/or fuel rich gas inlet ports are provided in the roof of the enclosure at the outer periphery thereof than at the central or intermediate areas of the enclosure to thus provide a more oxidizing atmosphere at the outer peripheral area of the enclosure than at the central and intermediate areas of the enclosure. The oxidant is admitted into the furnace enclosure through concentrically arranged rows of inlet openings formed in the roof of the enclosure. The oxidant mixes in the upper portion of the enclosure with the volatiles evolved from the materials and combusts therewith and following combustion of the said oxidant and released volatiles the waste gases of combustion are caused to travel radially outwardly to a peripherally mounted exhaust manifold whereas the materials undergoing heat treatment on the hearth are gradually advanced from the point of entry thereof to a centrally located discharge outlet. Means are provided in the exhaust manifold to cause said oxidant and waste gases of combustion to travel in a line of direction outwardly of the enclosure and into the said exhaust manifold. Thus, the direction of flow of the oxidant and waste gases of combustion within the enclosure is counter-current to the direction of travel of the materials undergoing treatment on the hearth.

A system for drying and preheating small metallic particles such as chips, turnings, borings and the like to remove volatiles therefrom which includes a dryer working in conjunction with a briquetting press. The dryer includes a drying and preliminary combustion chamber including a revolving drum therein through which the chips pass. The drying and preliminary combustion is heated and is atmospherically sealed and operated with a reducing atmosphere. The volatiles driven from the metallic particles are passed to a combustion completion chamber which is maintained at a temperature sufficient to burn the combustibles and into which air is injected to complete the combustion. The hot metallic particles are thermally insulated and sealed from the atmosphere while being conveyed from the drying and preliminary combustion chamber to the briquetting press where they are compressed into briquettes for subsequent introduction into induction furnaces and the like.

The method for gas circulation in a furnace, such as a vacuum furnace, for the heat treatment of work pieces wherein the gas is caused to circulate with turbulence while avoiding a set or stable flow pattern and the vacuum furnace adapted to carry out this method by means of fans so located and operated as to circulate the gas with turbulence and vorticity.

Burners of an oven are operated to satisfy heat loads changeable between a high load and substantially smaller loads. At least under the smaller loads the burners are cyclically controlled in a cycle of time periods T-1 and T-2. During the periods T-1 the burners are steadily regulated to maintain a uniform temperature in the oven. For periods T-2 the burners are periodically controlled to admit one of two selected magnitudes of fuel flow to the oven. At least under the smallest loads the latter magnitudes are periodically controlled to be zero or close to zero.

A calcining method and apparatus are provided wherein material to be treated is fed into the top of the furnace and the finished material discharges from the bottom of the furnace and cooling and combustion air enters under forced draft through the bottom of the furnace and flows upwardly through the column of material. A part of the fuel supply is delivered to the region between an upper preheating zone in the furnace and a subjacent combustion or firing zone and the balance of fuel required for firing is introduced into the combustion zone about its periphery. Provision is also made for bypassing part of the cooling air from a lower cooling zone to the combustion zone, with intermediate cleaning of the bypassed air.

Process for the steam moulding of parts of expanded thermoplastic material. In this process, there is supplied to the steam chamber surrounding the mould first hot air for preheating the mould before the supply of steam to the steam chamber. A moulding press is described for carrying out the process.

Combustion gases are generated in the liquid fuel combustion chambers provided on the middle shell of a cupola and blasted on the red-hot coke which is supplied automatically below said combustion chambers, to generate gas mixtures consisting of CO, H2 and N2 by water gas reaction and reducing reaction. These gas mixtures can be used as useful heat sources. By this process, the steam which has been so far regarded as a taboo in cupola operations can advantageously be utilized as hot gas so that cast iron of superior quality may be produced with better yields.
