Watch for jerking or jumping of the belt that would indicate an issue with the drive or pathway through the furnace. 4) Enable the ramp mode in your controls to limit the heating rate of each zone to 55\u00b0C (100\u00b0F) per hour or less. If the furnace does not have a ramp mode, be sure to manually adjust the set-points of each zone to ensure it does not exceed the suggested ramp rate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">5) Once the furnace reaches 150\u00b0C (300\u00b0F), purge the furnace with nitrogen and allow the nitrogen to flow as the furnace continues to heat up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">6) When the zones of the high heat section of the furnace are above 760\u00b0C (1400\u00b0F), combustibles may be introduced and the furnace can continue to be ramped to the final processing set-points, once the pilots are ignited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">7) Allow the furnace atmosphere to re-condition the furnace, clean the belt, and stabilize. Just a little trick &#8212; &nbsp;loading scrap metal that is free of oils, grease, and rust will help the furnace to \u201cclean up\u201d and stabilize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abbottfurnaceco.com\">www.abbottfurnaceco.co<\/a>m&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abbott Furnace Company, St. Marys, Pa., reminds heat treaters of a few important matters that must be considered to ensure a successful return to operation for equipment that has been turned off for a period of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
