Conventional sidewall-fired burners direct energy into open spaces within a furnace and radiate energy in all directions, transferring heat directly to the melt and indirectly to the refractory. The rate of overall energy input is determined and limited by the maximum allowable surface temperature of the refractory. In contrast, the Transient Heating burner, is usually mounted on the furnace roof and typically has four nozzles directed toward four quadrants of the furnace below the burner. Using proprietary control techniques, coupled with temperature feedback, the burner can direct heat to any combination of the quadrants; delivering the efficiency benefits of direct flame impingement, while avoiding overheating by limiting the firing in any one direction. 

 

Your key operating personnel can have instantaneous access to up-to-date burner operating parameters in your control room or remote computers and smart devices through Air Products Process Intelligence, which uses state-of-the-art on-burner diagnostic sensors and wireless communications technology to monitor and control our gases and equipment as well as track key process parameters.
