Development and Field Trial of an Advanced Indirect Heating System for Metal Heat Treating Applications
The Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) and the University of Texas at Austin, along with North American Manufacturing Company (The AIHS Technology Licensee), the Gas Technology Institute (a leading not-for-profit contract research organization), and Akron Steel Treating Company (a major steel heat treating company and the host site of the proposed project) are jointly proposing to finalize development and demonstration of a novel industrial indirect heating concept at the Ohio-based heat treating facility. This technology will provide energy, environmental and economic benefits to the end-user in ferrous heat treating applications. The GTI Sustaining Membership Program, the U-T Austin, North American Manufacturing Company and Akron Steel Treating Company will provide program co-funding. The proposed project will optimize the design of a patented technology (an Advanced Indirect Heating System) with respect to efficiency improvement, lower emissions, radiant tube temperature uniformity and lower internal tube temperatures. The result will be quantifiable energy benefits and service life benefits without emissions penalty.
