Objective Uniform temperature distribution and heating rates are of great importance to any re-heating process. The aims of this project are to test the effectiveness and long-term reliability of burners employing "Highly Preheated Combustion Air" technology (HPAC) in an industrial re-heating furnace and specify optimal conditions for the installation of HPAC in industrial furnace using off-line simulation techniques. The project will also give some estimates of the maintenance cost for the burner and the regenerator. The improved heating efficiency of the furnace will reduce the energy consumption and the production of CO2.
