Design Guidelines for High Performance Industrial Furnaces - High Temperature Air Combustion: From Energy Conservation to Pollution Reduction - page 339

5.5.5 S UMMARY

This section dealt with the applications adopted for fiscal 1999 and the results of
the High Performance Industrial Furnace Field Test Demonstration Project in fiscal
1998 in the form of intermediate results. Specifically, the results mainly classified
the cases and typical applications with respect to their performance, which are based
on the data obtained from the 58 joint research cases in fiscal 1998.
It was estimated, on the basis of the research conducted in 1998, that more than
30,000 furnaces throughout Japan could be modified into high performance industrial
furnaces. The number of furnaces this field test project will be able to cover over
the 3-year project period will account for 0.5% (about 160 cases) of the total number.
This percentage is very small; however, the field test project will certainly serve as
crucial information for the dissemination of this technology. Therefore, from now
on, the authors plan to emphasize the amalgamation of information aimed at pro-
moting the application of high performance industrial furnaces.
