Modules for building a virtual Furnace includes


Results from the simulation includes


Part Temperature & metallurgy:

Results include Temperature profile of the parts along furnace length and at exit, 2D skid marks for slab heating furnaces, Scaling/Decarburization depth


Heat Audit & Power Calculations:

Calculates heat to part, refractory/wall loss, heat to gases, and heat and energy consumed in different zones, Heat loss through the flue, Zone wise fuel and air requirements and total fuel consumption and furnace efficiency. The results are displayed in a Sankey diagram.


Reports:

Results from each calculation can be displayed in report format. The results can be directly printed, saved as a PDF format or exported to an Excel spread Sheet.

Additional Modules

Setpoint Generator: This is an optional feature to calculate furnace zone setpoints for different sizes, grades, production rate, and furnace exit temperature of steel. The setpoints are calculated for steady state constant production rate and does not take into account any delays or mix of products inside the furnace. Details


Skid Mark Analysis: This software determines skid mark (temperature variation in the slabs/billets due to shadowing effect by the skid support system + heat conduction through the wear bar) in steel slabs and/or billets heated in a reheat furnace. Details
