Control, regulation and visual display of a regenerative burner system for an aluminium melting furnace

Regenerative burner systems are an environmentally friendly and energy- and cost-saving alternative to conventional designs. More and more companies are now converting to this modern technology and thus remain competitive, and not only on cost criteria - other actors include reduced energy consumption and decreased emissions. This article examines the process-engineering conversion procedure, the modular regulation functions and the appurtenant visual display of a regenerative burner system, using the example of an aluminium melting furnace.
