Achieving appropriate temperature uniformity in a heat treat application with direct fired burners requires paying particular attention to Burner spacing and arrangement. Selection of the appropriate burner technology is crucial for achieving required uniformity. This talk will explain the importance of proper burner placement (spacing and arrangement) and will describe advancements in burner technologies that provide important options to achieve required temperature uniformity. The talk will conclude with several short case studies explaining the application of spacing, arrangement and technology to achieve the proper uniformity in the furnace. The case studies will cover several different industries such as titanium, steel, and/or aluminum processing.
