A modular industrial energy transfer system includes a shell and at least one energy transfer unit coupled to the shell. The shell includes a plurality of sidewalls, a ceiling member coupled thereto, and a plurality of mounting structures disposed along the shell. The plurality of sidewalls and the ceiling member cooperate to define an interior volume to accommodate a work product. The at least one energy transfer unit is coupled to the shell via at least one of the plurality of mounting structures and is partially disposed through the shell to generate an airflow pattern through the interior volume of the shell.

An oxidation furnace for the oxidative treatment of fibers having a housing which is gas-tight, apart from passage areas for the fibers, and a process chamber located in the interior of the housing. A hot working atmosphere can be generated by an atmosphere-generating device, can be blown into the process chamber and flows through the process chamber in processing conditions in a main direction of flow. Deflecting rollers guide the fibers through the process chamber in a serpentine manner in such a way that the fibers lie next to one another as a fiber carpet (22a), wherein the fiber carpet spans a plane between opposite deflecting rollers. A flow measuring system is provided, by means of which a flow profile of the working atmosphere in processing conditions can be generated, and which comprises at least one sensor system for determining the speed of flow, the sensor system being arranged in a sensor region between two adjacent fiber carpets.

A method of detecting an abnormality in a blast furnace, wherein the abnormality causes clogging of a tuyere unit of the blast furnace, the method including capturing an image of a raceway unit through an in-furnace monitor window disposed at the tuyere unit; and determining that the abnormality has occurred when a brightness of the captured image is lower than or equal to a predetermined brightness threshold and a rate of decrease in the brightness is lower than or equal to a predetermined brightness-decrease-rate threshold.
