Thermal Engineering is a specialised sub-discipline of Mechanical Engineering that deals exclusively with heat energy and its transfer between not only different mediums, but also into other usable forms of energy. A Thermal Engineer will be armed with the expertise to design systems and process to convert generated energy from various thermal sources into chemical, mechanical or electrical energy depending on the task at hand. Obviously, all Thermal Engineers are experts in all aspects of heat transfer.
Many process plants (basically somewhere where some raw material or resource is converted into something useful, e.g. power plants, oil refineries, plastic manufacturing plants, etc.) contain countless components and systems which have to be designed in terms of their heat transfer; it is particularly important to ensure that not too much heat is retained so the component or process is not disrupted. Conversely, some processes or systems are designed to use heat to their advantage and a Thermal Engineer must make sure enough heat is generated and used wisely (i.e. sustainably).
”Waste heat recovery” is the process of “heat integration”, that is, reusing heat energy that would otherwise be disposed of or simply released into the atmosphere. By recovering waste heat, plants can reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions, while simultaneously increasing energy efficiency.

waste heat recovery devices, Saving potential.
Waste heat is heat, which is generated in a process by way of fuel combustion or chemical
reaction, and then “dumped” into the environment even though it could still be reused for some
useful and economic purpose. The essential quality of heat is not the amount but rather its
“value”. The strategy of how to recover this heat depends in part on the temperature of the waste
heat gases and the economics involved.

Improving Furnace Efficiency
1. What is a Furnace?
A furnace is an equipment to melt metals
• for casting or
• for heating materials or
• for change of shape (rolling, forging etc) or
for change of properties (heat treatment).

Based on the method of generating heat: combustion type
(using fuels) and electric type
3. Characteristics of an Efficient Furnace
Furnace should be designed so that in a
given time, as much of material as
possible can be heated to an uniform
temperature as possible with the least
possible fuel and labour.
4. Furnace Energy Supply
• Since flue gases directly contact the stock, the type of
fuel chosen is very important.
For example, some stock will not tolerate sulphur in
the fuel. Also use of solid fuels will release particulate
matter (dust), which will interfere with the stock
placed inside the furnace.
Hence, majority of the furnaces use liquid fuel,
gaseous fuel or electricity as energy input.
• Ferrous (steel, cast iron) melting furnaces such as
induction and arc furnaces use electricity
• Non-ferrous melting furnaces use oil.
5. Oil Fired Furnaces
• Furnace oil is the major fuel used in reheating and
heat treatment furnaces
• LDO is used in furnaces where presence of sulphur is
undesirable.
• Furnaces operate with efficiencies as low as 7% as
against upto 90% achievable in other combustion
equipment such as boiler.
This is because of the high temperature at which the
furnaces operate to meet the required demand. For
example, a furnace heating the stock to 1200o
C will
have its exhaust gases leaving atleast at 1200o
C
resulting in a high heat loss through the stack.
6. Forging Furnaces
Used for preheating billets and ingots to attain a ‘forge’
temperature.
The furnace temperature is maintained at 1200 to 1250o
C.
Forging furnaces, use an open fireplace system and most
of the heat is transmitted by radiation.
The typical loading in a forging furnace is 5 to 6 tones
with the furnace operating for 16 to 18 hours daily.
The total operating cycle can be divided into (i) heat-up
time (ii) soaking time and (iii) forging time.
Specific fuel consumption depends upon the type of
material and number of ‘reheats’ required.
7. Rerolling Mill Furnaces
Batch type furnace:
• Used for heating up scrap,
small ingots and billets
weighing 2 to 20 kg. for batch
type rerolling.
• Charging and discharging of the
‘material’ is done manually and
the final product is in the form
of rods and strips.
• Operating temperature is 1200
o
C.
• Total cycle time can be
categorized into heat-up time
and rerolling time.
Continuous Pusher Type:
• The process flow and operating
cycles of a continuous pusher
type is the same as that of the
batch furnace.
• The material or stock recovers
a part of the heat in flue gases
as it moves down the length of
the furnace.
• Operating temperature is
1250o
C.
• Heat absorption by the material
in the furnace is slow, steady
and uniform throughout the
cross-section compared with
batch type.
8. Heat Transfer in Furnaces
Figure 4.3 : Heat Transfer in furnace
• Radiation from the
flame, hot
combustion products
and the furnace
walls and roof
• Convection due to
the movement of hot
gases over the stock
surface.

9) Use of Ceramic Coatings
16. 1) Complete Combustion with Minimum
Excess Air
The amount of heat lost in the flue gases depends upon
amount of excess air. In the case of a furnace carrying
away flue gases at 900o
C, % heat lost is shown in table :

19. 4) Reducing Heat Loss from Furnace
Openings
The heat loss from an opening can be calculated using the formula:
Q=4.88 x T 4
x a x A x H … k.Cal/hr
100
T: absolute temperature (K),
a: factor for total radiation
A: area of opening,
H: time (Hr)
Heat loss through openings consists of direct radiation and
combustion gas that leaks through openings.
Keeping the doors unnecessarily open leads to wastage of fuel
Inspection doors should not kept open during operation
Broken and damaged doors should be repaired
21. 6) Optimum capacity utilization
There is a particular loading at which the furnace will operate at
maximum thermal efficiency.
Best method of loading is generally obtained by trial-noting the weight
of material put in at each charge, the time it takes to reach temperature
and the amount of fuel used.
Mismatching of furnace dimension with respect to charge and production
schedule.
Coordination between the furnace operator, production and planning
personnel is needed.
22. 7) Waste heat recovery from the flue gases
• Stock preheating
• Combustion air preheating
• Using waste heat for other process
23. 8. Minimizing Wall Losses
About 30% of the fuel input to the furnace generally goes to
make up for heat losses in intermittent or continuous furnaces.
The appropriate choice of refractory and insulation materials is
needed for high fuel savings in industrial furnaces.
The extent of wall losses depend on:
Emissivity of wall
Thermal conductivity of refractories
Wall thickness
Whether furnace is operated continuously or
intermittently
24. Radiation Heat Loss from Surface of Furnace
The quantity (Q) of heat release from a reheating furnace is
calculated with the following formula:
where
a : factor regarding direction of the surface of natural convection
ceiling = 2.8, side walls = 2.2, hearth = 1.5
tl
: temperature of external wall surface of the furnace (°C)
t2
: temperature of air around the furnace (°C)

Editor's Notes
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai The furnace classification is given in the figure. Furnaces can be broadly classified into three categories based on mode of heat transfer, mode of charging and mode of heat recovery
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai For proper heat distribution, when using oil burners, following care should be taken: i) Prevent flame impingement. Align burner properly to avoid touching the material The flame should not touch any solid object and should propagate clear of any solid object .Any obstruction will deatomise the fuel particles thus affecting combustion and create black smoke. If flame impinges on the stock, there would be increase in scale losses. ii) If the flames impinge on refractories, the incomplete combustion products can settle and react with the refractory constituents at high flame temperatures. iii) The flames of different burners in the furnace should stay clear of each other. If they intersect, inefficient combustion would occur. It is desirable to stagger the burners on the opposite sides. iv) The burner flame has a tendency to travel freely in the combustion space just above the material. In small reheating furnaces, the axis of the burner is never placed parallel to the hearth but always at an upward angle. Flame should not hit the roof. v) The larger burners produce a long flame, which may be difficult to contain within the furnace walls. More burners of less capacity give better distribution of heat in the furnace and also increase furnace life. vi) For small reheating furnaces, it is desirable to have a long flame with golden yellow colour while firing furnace oil for uniform heating. The flame should not be too long that it enters the chimney and comes out through the top or through doors. This will happen if excess oil is fired. In such cases, major portion of additional fuel is carried away from the furnace.
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai Operating at too high temperatures causes heat loss, excessive oxidation, de-carbonization as well as over-stressing of the refractories. These controls are normally left to operator judgment, which is not desirable. To avoid human error, on/off controls should be provided.
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai Since the loss through open door is by radiation at a high temperature the heat losses are significant.
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai Prevent air infiltration through furnace. Infiltrated air cools down the furnace and increases fuel consumption If negative pressures exist in the furnace, air infiltration is liable to occur through the cracks and openings thereby affecting air-fuel ratio control. Tests conducted on apparently airtight furnaces have shown air infiltration up to the extent of 40%. Neglecting furnaces pressure could mean problems of cold metal and non-uniform metal temperatures, which could affect subsequent operations like forging and rolling and result in increased fuel consumption. For optimum fuel consumption, slight positive pressure should be maintained in the furnace
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai Operating at too high temperatures causes heat loss, excessive oxidation, de-carbonization as well as over-stressing of the refractories. These controls are normally left to operator judgment, which is not desirable. To avoid human error, on/off controls should be provided.

These controls are normally left to operator judgment, which is not desirable. To avoid human error, on/off controls should be provided.
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai About 30-40% of the fuel input to the furnace generally goes to make up for heat losses in intermittent or continuous furnaces. The appropriate choice of refractory and insulation materials goes a long way in achieving fairly high fuel savings in industrial furnaces. The heat losses from-furnace walls affect the fuel economy considerably. The extent of wall losses depend on: 1. Emissivity of wall 2. Thermal conductivity of refractories 3. Wall thickness 4. Whether furnace is operated continuously or intermittently
Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Productivity, NPC-Chennai Heat transfer in furnace depends mainly on radiation which in turn depends on emissivity. At higher temperatures the emissivity decreases and is in the order of 0.3. High emissivity refractory coating if applied on the internal surface of the furnace increases the emissivity to 0.8, thus contributing to increased heat transfer. The application of high-emissivity coatings in furnace chambers promotes rapid and efficient transfer of heat, uniform heating, and extended life of refractories and metallic components such as radiant tubes and heating elements. For intermittent furnaces or where rapid heating is required, use of such coatings was found to reduce fuel or power to tune of upto 10%. Other benefits are temperature uniformity and increased refractory life Case Study on Applications of Ceramic coatings to reduce energy consumption in furnaces Process temperature- 1000oC Ceramic coating has the property of radiating heat inside the furnace BENEFITS Reduced start-up time Uniform temperature distribution inside the furnace Savings- $1000 Investment- $2000 Payback- 24 months
