Apparatus and method for controlling concentration of oxygen in heating furnace
An apparatus for controlling the concentration of oxygen in a heating furnace according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a first oxygen concentration bias setting unit for receiving a set first oxygen concentration bias; a second oxygen concentration bias calculation unit for, when a measured value of carbon monoxide in exhaust gas is out of an allowable carbon monoxide range, calculating a second oxygen concentration bias by using the measured value of carbon monoxide and the concentration of oxygen measured in the exhaust gas; an oxygen concentration bias providing unit for providing an oxygen concentration bias by using the first oxygen concentration bias and the second oxygen concentration bias; and an oxygen concentration set value correction unit for correcting a set value of the concentration of oxygen by using the oxygen concentration bias.
Sound-based diagnostics for a combustion air inducer
A device is configured to operate a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system. The device is further configured to determine that the speed of a combustion air inducer exceeds a speed threshold value. The device is further configured to receive an audio signal from a microphone while operating the HVAC system and to determine an audio signature for the combustion air inducer is not present within the audio signal. The device is further configured to determine whether an audio signature for the integrated furnace controller is present within the audio signal. The device is further configured to determine a fault type based on the determination of whether the audio signature for the integrated furnace controller is present within the audio signal, to identify a component identifier for a component of the HVAC system that is associated with fault type, and to output a recommendation identifying the component identifier.

Steelmaking furnace with humidity control device
A steel strip annealing furnace with a dew point control system. The furnace/control system can be more readily controlled to the desired dew point than the prior art control system and can handle the set point changes required as different types of steel coils are continuously run therethrough.

Stove guard using a broad field of view
A stove guard having a data processing unit and a heat sensor arrangement for receiving heat radiation from objects located in a given field of view and for delivering the detector signals indicative of the received heat radiation to the data processing unit. The heat sensor arrangement is arranged to generate detector signals differently corresponding to the heat radiation received from a central area of the field of view than to the heat radiation received from a circumferential area of the field of view.
