Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems recently manufactured and commissioned a high temperature car bottom furnace for a Southern U.S. manufacturer of excavating equipment. The furnace has a work zone of 84 inches wide by 144 inches long by 48 inches high with a 16,000-pound load capacity. The operating temperature is 1,000°F (538°C) to 2,282°F (1250°C), and will be used for stress relieving, normalizing, and other high-temperature processes. The furnace was purchased to replace an existing furnace, which gave the customer improved operating efficiency and higher temperature processing capabilities. The heating system features low emissions gas-fired burners with a custom-designed control scheme to meet the customer’s strict NOx and CO requirements. The furnace meets AMS 2750 temperature uniformity requirements across a wide temperature operating range, and was custom designed to fit into the customer’s existing space in their facility.
