Control of Pusher Furnaces for Steel Slab Reheating Using a Numerical Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Steel slabs are reheated in pusher-type furnaces up to a temperature of 1200°C in the steel sheet manufacturing process. In this article we describe a control system that uses an on-line numerical model to calculate the furnace setpoints in order to improve the heating quality. Examples of actual furnace operation with and without the system are presented to show the improvements that are obtained handling typical non-stationary situations.

Numerical Model of Steel Slab Reheating in Pusher Furnaces
The difficulty in measuring load temperatures inside reheating gas furnaces may be circumvented by appropriate use of on-line numerical models. In this article we describe a model of pusher furnaces, used to reheat steel slabs. The model uses thermocouple measurements at fixed positions inside the furnace to calculate the temperature of the combustion products, and takes into account radiative ...

متن کاملImplementation of Models for reheating processes in industrial furnaces
Components were developed for the modeling of industrial furnaces in the iron and steel industry like pusher-type and walking beam furnaces. A cell model on the basis of the dynamic pipe model of the Modelica Fluid Library was designed. The cell model computes the heat transfer between furnace walls, flue gas and the processed steel goods. The radiative heat transfer is modeled by a 1-dimension...
