The Heating Furnaces Operating Parameters Optimization Issue

The ways of thermal efficiency and economy improving of flaming metal heating are considered. The expanded technical and economic optimization problem of furnace units having metal heating chamber operation is solved. The method and optimization algorithm analytically considering the correlation of thermal, design, operating parameters and discounted costs for the furnace unit were developed. The obtained optimization functionality provides the achievement of furnace units appropriate thermal indices at minimum discounted costs. The results of the carried out research prove the expediency of proposed solutions, make it possible to decide on the most profitable parameters of the heating furnaces thermal conditions.
