摘要 |
The invention relates to a method to control a process for heating or melting a metal, in particular aluminium, which includes: heating said metal in a fuel-fired furnace wherein a fuel is combusted with an oxygen containing gas, measuring the concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the furnace atmosphere, calculating the theoretical concentration of oxygen in the furnace atmosphere on the basis of said concentration of carbon dioxide, determining the difference between said theoretical concentration of oxygen and said detected concentration of oxygen and controlling said process depending on said difference.
