A laboratory furnace has recently been rebuilt, upgraded and commissioned in order both to showcase and refine its newest generation of ultra-low NOx regenerative burner. With all new piping hardware and components, new refractory and up-to-date combustion controls, this furnace has the flexibility to operate across a wide range of firing parameters.
Use of the furnace has allowed Bloom to improve its already industry-leading regenerative technology. Bloom has taken the opportunity to explore and to develop new control strategies in order to minimize emissions and maximize combustion efficiency. Having complete flexibility with both the hardware and the software means that Bloom can explore creative approaches to regenerative combustion.
Matt Valancius, a veteran of the laboratory who has gone on to serve in many different positions in Bloom explains: “What excites me the most about the D-10 furnace upgrade is that we are able to highlight Bloom’s capabilities in our advanced control systems and our next generation regenerative technologies. It can be a real benefit for a potential customer to come in and see the equipment in action, and to gain a little confidence in the reliability of the new systems.”
