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 radiant element for heating an oven is disclosed. The radiant element comprises a first end; a second free end; a radiant structure between said first end and second end; a conduit for an energy feed inside said radiant structure; a first attachment leg for mechanically coupling the radiant structure to a support, a first coupling means comprising a first portion arranged to be stationary with respect to said support, and a second portion stationary relative to said first leg, the first portion and the second portion being mechanically coupled via a first interface so as to allow a relative displacement between the first portion and second portion.

The present disclosure relates to a device for indirect heating by radiation in the form of a radiant housing having two front walls and two side walls and comprising at least one heat source, the radiant housing having front walls joining one another such that the housing has a lenticular shape in cross-section.

Support device for a radiant pipe (TR), usable in thermal treatment furnaces, for lines for continuous galvanising and annealing of metal strips or sheets and/or other products made of steel and/or other metals or for revamping pre-existing furnaces, including a support for radiant pipe or shank and a furnace-side support or socket, wherein the support for the radiant pipe or shank includes at least one outer surface, facing—during use—towards the furnace-side support or socket and a thickness, wherein the furnace-side support or socket includes at least one first surface and one second surface, the latter facing—during use—towards the support for radiant pipe or shank, and a thickness, including at least one rotary means and at least one seat for housing the at least one rotary means.

A method for treating a metal strip, where the metal strip undergoes heat treatment in a directly fired furnace and is subsequently heat-treated further in a radiant tube furnace. At least part of the exhaust gases from the radiant tubes is fed to the directly fired furnace.

An apparatus includes a gas interface configured to be fluidly coupled to a gas source and to receive a heated gas flow from the gas source. The apparatus also includes a convection-to-radiant heat transfer section configured to receive convection heat from the heated gas flow. The apparatus further includes a compartment configured to receive a component. The heat transfer section is configured to convert the convection heat into radiant heat and to provide the radiant heat to the compartment in order to heat the component within the compartment. The apparatus is configured to substantially block the heated gas flow from contacting the component within the compartment. One or more exhaust vent openings may be configured to allow exhaust of the heated gas flow from the apparatus. A damper may be configured to selectively release or block the one or more exhaust vent openings.

The present disclosure relates to a device for indirect heating by radiation in the form of a radiant housing having two front walls and two side walls and comprising at least one heat source, said radiant housing having front walls joining one another such that the housing has a lenticular shape in cross-section.

A heating furnace includes a target space (212a) in which a burning target is disposed, and a furnace main body (212) that surrounds the target space. The heating furnace includes one or more closed gas heaters having an introduction hole configured to introduce a fuel gas into the main body, a combustion chamber in which the introduced fuel gas is combusted, a discharge section to which an exhaust gas generated by combustion is guided, a radiation surface heated by the exhaust gas flowing through the discharge section or combustion in the combustion chamber and configured to transfer radiant heat to the burning target, and an exhaust hole configured to exhaust the exhaust gas that heats the radiation surface to the outside of the main body, and disposed in the furnace main body, and an exhaust heat transfer section (an insulated pipe (222a)) in communication with the exhaust hole of the closed gas heater and to which the exhaust gas is guided. In addition, the exhaust heat transfer section is installed at any portion in the furnace main body except for a radiation space (212b) formed between the closed gas heater and the burning target disposed in the target space and configured to transfer the radiant heat to the burning target.

The present disclosure relates to a device for indirect heating by radiation in the form of a radiant housing having two front walls and two side walls and comprising at least one heat source, the radiant housing having front walls joining one another such that the housing has a lenticular shape in cross-section.

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.
