Modern reheating practices focus on combustion technology

This technical paper introduces combustion systems and controls as one of the most important feature in the design of modern reheating furnaces (Fig. 1), starting with a general overview of the available technologies, their development in the years and the actual State of the Art. Without denying that an efficient furnace is always the sum of many technical choices, the Reader has the chance to focus on the day by day advantages of proper designed combustion system and controls and to get different points of view with regard to pulse firing technology.
