Heating Furnaces Efficiency Improvement

The technical and economic optimization problem of the heating furnace multi-layer lining, consisting of layers of different thickness and made of materials with different thermal physical and performance properties is considered. The solution and the algorithm to determine the most economically advantageous lining thickness of the furnace is offered. The algorithm allows to evaluate various combinations of multi-layer lining and optimize it for given functional and technical constraints. The calculation program helps to form optimally insulating and refractory furnace lining layers sequentially according to the temperature at the boundary layers, starting from the condition of ensuring lining reliability.
