Abstract
Process for regulating the water vapor content in a furnace operating at very high temperature between 1300 and 1800° C. and heated by combustion burners, in which there used as combustible carbon monoxide and as combustion supporter oxygen or air if desired dried and/or enriched in oxygen.
Claims4
A process for regulating the water vapor content in a furnace functioning at very high temperature between 1300 and 1800° C. and heated by combustions burners, comprising using carbon monoxide as a combustible, and using as a combustion supporter at least one member of the class consisting of oxygen, air, dried air, and air enriched in oxygen.
A furnace for heating a product, a burner for heating the furnace, means to supply carbon monoxide to the furnace, a first flow rate detector for detecting the flow rate of carbon monoxide, a first valve for adjusting the flow rate of carbon monoxide, means to provide a combustion supporter to rho furnace, a second flow rate detector for detecting the flow race of the combustion supporter, a second valve for regulating the flow rate of the combustion supporter, and a computer functionally connected to both said flow rate detectors and to both said valves to regulate the flow rates of at least one of the combustible and the combustion supporter according to the water vapor content desired in the furnace.
