ABSTRACT

CO₂ emission is one of the factors, which in addition to the consumption of thermal energy and the loss of steel by oxidation also affect the costs of heating process in a reheating furnace. The analysis of influence of the increase rate of temperature surface of steel charge on the CO₂ emission and the furnace productivity was conducted with regard to the increase in heating costs. The results of numerical modelling of the heating process in the pusher type steel reheating furnace were presented in this article.

Keywords: reheating furnace, heating process, steel charge, CO₂ emission
