The present invention relates to a radiant tube apparatus disposed in a heat treatment facility to perform a heat treatment of a strip and a method for manufacturing the same. The radiant tube apparatus includes a tube having an internal pipe, wherein the tube has a first continuous pattern and a second continuous pattern extending side by side and spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance on a surface, and, in each of the first continuous pattern and the second continuous pattern, a plurality of unit patterns having a predetermined height from the surface are connected to each other in a longitudinal direction.

A combustion system includes a fuel and oxidant source and a flame holder. The flame holder includes a plurality of discrete slats arranged in parallel defining combustion channels between adjacent slats. The fuel and oxidant source outputs fuel and oxidant into the combustion channels. The flame holder holds a combustion reaction of the fuel and oxidant in the combustion channels.

Apparatus and methods are described for novel radiant tube coil support designs that are insertable through holes in the casing walls of fired heaters from the outside of the heater.

The present application relates to a burner for a shaft melting furnace, in particular for a copper shaft melting furnace, comprising a first chamber with an inlet opening, via which an oxygen-containing gas can be supplied to the burner, and an outlet opening, which is arranged at a distal end of a conically tapering sub-portion of the first chamber; a second chamber, which is connected to the conical sub-portion of the first chamber and which has a burner nozzle; a combustion gas line, which opens into the first chamber and via which a combustion gas can be supplied to the burner; and a mixing nozzle, which is arranged in the outlet opening of the first chamber and which has a mixing chamber via which the oxygen-containing gas and the combustion gas can be mixed to form a combustion gas mixture.

A continuous heating furnace includes a furnace main body, a conveyance unit configured to convey a baking object W in the furnace main body, a plurality of heating sections heated by combustion, each having a first radiation surface configured to be heated by combustion and transfers heat to the baking object conveyed by the conveyance unit and arranged in the conveyance direction of the baking object in the furnace main body, and a cooling preheater having a second radiation surface configured to receive radiant heat from the baking object when being opposite to the baking object conveyed by the conveyance unit and a gas flow path configured to preheat a gas used for combustion in the heating section by the heat from the second radiation surface.

Apparatus and methods are described for novel radiant tube coil support designs that are insertable through holes in the casing walls of fired heaters from the outside of the heater.

A continuous heating furnace includes one or a plurality of closed type gas heaters each having a combustion chamber, a guide section that guides an exhaust gas, an exhaust hole that discharges the exhaust gas and a first radiation surface that extends in a direction perpendicular to a baking object conveyance direction wherein the first radiation surface is heated by combustion in the combustion chamber and heat from the guide section and transfers radiant heat to the baking object. The continuous heating furnace also has at least one exhaust heat transfer unit that is juxtaposed with a corresponding closed type gas heater in the conveyance direction, wherein the at least one exhaust heat transfer unit has a second radiation surface that communicates with the exhaust hole of a closed type gas heater and is heated by the exhaust gas, and a heat transfer acceleration unit that accelerates heat transfer from the exhaust gas to the second radiation surface in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the second radiation surface.

A radiant heating tube device with a fuel-heated burner and a flame tube located inside the radiant heating tube often shows an undesirable increase in temperature in the area of the closed end of the radiant tube. This temperature rise can be reduced by installing an additional tube or other flow body in the area of the end of the flame tube. This achieves a more uniform radiant tube surface temperature.

The present disclosure concerns a system for curing a wet coating of a coated substrate, the system comprising: a curing room having a curing room inlet and a curing room outlet, the curing room being configured to receive the coated substrate being introduced at the curing room inlet thereof along a first displacement axis, the system comprising a conveyor assembly for conveying the coated substrate through the curing room along a second displacement axis transverse to the first displacement axis, wherein the system further comprises a gas catalytic IR system, provided in the curing room, for producing an infrared radiation to partially cure the wet coating while the coated substrate is in the curing room. The disclosure concerns also a corresponding process.
