designs: benefits
There are advantages to both spiral
furnace tube and vertical furnace tube
arrangements. Which one is chosen
depends, in part, on the type of project
under construction.
10
features
operational excellence
The advanced burner design and staging ensure the use of the furnace volume
is very efficient which results in efficient combustion. As a result, low NOx and slagging
dramatically reduce cleaning and maintenance times allowing the system to work
at maximum efficiency over a sustained period.
Tilting burners
Tilting burners deliver outstanding operation flexibility by allowing the highest cycle
efficiency over the widest load range. They give the operator the ability to control
reheat steam temperature by regulating the furnace outlet temperature.
