This company’s new product development test furnace offers load simulation; automatic pressure controlled capability; and the ability to be fired using natural gas, light or heavy fuel oil, and liquid propane. The maximum operating temperature is 2400°F. The inside chamber is 9 x 17 x 6 ft, and the side walls and roof are composed of 12-in. thick ceramic fiber modules. There are 34 silicon carbide air tubes at the furnace walls for load simulation. Exhaust gas testing capability exists for NO_x (ppm), CO (ppm), H₂C₂ (ppm), and percent O₂. According to the company, the load simulation capability in the new furnace will facilitate the development of new low emission burner technologies.
