Abstract
A heating furnace, suitable for use in a continuous steel slab heating furnace, wherein slabs are heated by fuel combustion flames. Heat transfer converters each made of a heat-resistant material are disposed within and in the flow of the combustion flames. These converters are heated through convection heat transfer from a high temperature and high speed flow of the combustion flames.
Claims2
A heating furnace for heating bodies by combustion flame comprising:
- conveying means which moves said heating bodies in the heating furnace;
- furnace walls which cover said conveying means with said heating bodies;
- burners which are attached to said furnace so as to heat said heating bodies by fuel combustion flames;
- and
- heat transfer converters comprising substantially vertical plate-like heat-resistant materials connected to one another by means of at least one bar material and parallely disposed within and to the flow of the combustion flame of said burners, wherein said heat transfer converters are heated through convection heat transfers from high temperature and high speed flow of said combustion flame to increase the radiation heat transfer to said heating bodies.
