Pyrolysis furnace having improved heating efficiency

摘要

A batch type pyrolysis furnace is described for the removal of organic contaminants from various metal parts with superior heating efficiency. The described pyrolysis furnace employs a modified gas burner construction providing combined radiant and convection heating to carry out the pyrolysis cycle in shorter heat-up and cool-down time periods accompanied by fuel savings. A novel furnace apparatus and method for its operation to achieve these benefits is disclosed.
