Energy Savings and Glass Quality Improvement by Mathematical Modelling and Advanced Furnace Control
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of the latest strategy in glass companies is to decrease the cost of production while maintaining or increasing the glass quality. There are several perspective ways leading to this goal: Optimization of the heating system, Modification of the furnace design, or Installing the new advanced control system. Optimization of the heating system can be achieved by installing modern burner system, re-arranging the burner locations, changing the type of fuel, or installing the electric boosting into the existing furnace. Using the advanced control system leads mainly to the stabilization of the furnace operation which results in energy saving and glass quality enhancement.

متن کاملMathematical Modelling of an Annealing Furnace for Process Control Applications
Optimisation and improved control of the annealing furnace on a continuous galvanising line was investigated by the construction of a series of mathematical models to predict furnace and strip temperature and strip recrystallisation under both steady and transient states. A modelling approach is followed due to the very poor measurability of temperatures inside the furnace, affected by strong r...
