  • heat treatment any operation in which one of the products defined above is brought to a high temperature in order to give it particular properties.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks. It relates to a flame-heated muffle furnace for continuous heat treatment, by scrolling, at a temperature which can reach approximately 1100 to 1150 ° C., of products such as refractories, metals and alloys, carbon products, without direct contact. between the flame or the combustion gases and the product to be treated.
  • This oven has an inlet zone provided with a circulation preheating means, in a double jacket arranged around the muffle, of recycled combustion gases, a heating zone arranged inside a heat-insulated enclosure, provided with 'At least one means for circulating the combustion gases around the heating zone of the muffle and an outlet zone provided with at least one means for controlling the speed of cooling of the products.
  • FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of a muffle furnace according to the invention for cooking carbonaceous products impregnated with pitch, comprising a device for recovering pitch vapors, the combustion of which saves up to 90% of the fuel supplied to the burner.
  • the oven has an inlet zone, constituted by a tunnel (1) provided with a removable cover (2) into which the product to be heat treated (3) is introduced by usual handling means not shown, for example by a roller table.
  • the actual oven is constituted by an insulating refractory enclosure (4) substantially parallelepiped which forms the combustion chamber (5).
  • the inlet of the oven has a preheating section (6) constituted by a double jacket (7) in which circulate hot gases recovered in the combustion zone, and circulated by the recycling fan (8).
  • combustion gases both the combustion gases coming directly from the burner, as the gases circulated in the various circuits of the furnace, whether these gases are pure or diluted by outside air to lower the temperature.
  • the muffle itself is a cylindrical tube (10) arranged horizontally in the upper part of the oven. It is made of refractory steel, preferably with a high nickel content, so as to withstand operating temperatures which can reach approximately 1100 to 1150 ° C., without this value constituting a limitation of the invention.
  • the internal section of the oven is slightly larger (by 5 to 20% for example) than the maximum outside diameter of the products to be treated or, if necessary, of the container filled with products to be treated.
  • two longitudinal rails guide the products during the scrolling, which is done from right to left in the case shown.
  • the movement of the products to be treated is generally ensured by pushing, the advance movement being able to be continuous or step by step according to the requirements of the treatment carried out.
  • the heating of the furnace is ensured by a burner (11) with gaseous, liquid or solid pulverized fuel, provided with an adjustable air supply with a large excess, if necessary, for a reason which will be specified below, and which one can also supply preheated air through an exchanger arranged in the combustion or cooling gas circuit of the outlet zone.
  • the combustion gases are circulated by the fan (12) and the partition (13).
  • the arrows indicate, approximately, the path of the combustion gases.
  • the partition (13) determines, with the external wall (14), a passage (15) which opens onto the muffle, in the transition zone between the heating zone and the outlet zone.
  • the combustion gases circulate around the muffle, in a path roughly shown diagrammatically by the arrows, which ensures remarkable temperature uniformity throughout this part of the muffle.
  • one or more devices for recycling the combustion gases and for possible introduction of outside air are provided, according to the usual methods, by means of the flaps (18). , (19), (29), in order to supply the double jacket (7) of the preheating zone (6) with hot gas, and, if necessary, the burner (11) with preheated air.
  • the structure of the recycling circuit is given as an indication, and does not constitute a limiting characteristic of the invention.
  • the oven, object of the invention is particularly suitable for the particular case where the products to be heat treated are carbonaceous refractory products impregnated with carbonaceous substance, such as pitch, the pyrolysis of which gives combustible vapors.
  • carbonaceous substance such as pitch
  • the possibility of controlling the temperature in the pyrolysis zone is a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention. It is known, in fact, that in order to obtain the maximum coking yield of the impregnation product, the speed of temperature rise of the impregnated product and the duration of maintenance at a predetermined temperature must be determined with precision, which is easily achievable in the muffle furnace, object of the invention.
  • the preheating zone (7) is supplied by the combustion gases possibly diluted with outside air.
  • the pyrolysis and coking zone (25) has a double envelope (27) in which the combustion gases from the final cooking zone circulate, optionally diluted with outside air and / or combustion gases from the preheating zone.
  • the combustion gases are evacuated through the chimney (17).
  • the shutters such as (18) (19) allow the necessary flow adjustments.
  • the outlet zone includes means for controlled cooling, either slowed down or accelerated, depending on the requirements of the product treated and the heat treatment cycle used.
  • the part of the muffle (30) emerging in the exit zone can be either insulated, or exposed to the open air over all or part of its length, or subjected to cooling by forced ventilation - and possible recovery of the hot air to supply the burner - or by suction or spraying of a fluid such as water.
  • cooling control arrangements can be provided, such as a double jacket (31) with a circulation of a liquid or gaseous fluid, or, on the contrary, an insulation static, for example if we treat a metal billet intended to feed a hot spinning press or a combination of thermal insulation at the exit of the hot zone, followed by an accelerated cooling zone.
  • the outlet may also comprise, symmetrically with the inlet, an outlet tunnel (32) with a removable cover (33) for extracting the processed product.
  • the oven When the oven is in operation, it operates with an external fuel supply corresponding to approximately 200 therms (836 MJ) per tonne of product to be cooked, whereas in current static ovens, this consumption is around 1800 therms / around ton (7524 MJ), - which does not go below 600 therms / ton in the best case, for other types of static ovens - ie a fuel saving close to 90%.
  • the rate of temperature rise, for electrodes with a diameter of 300 mm can wait for 150 ° C per hour whereas it hardly exceeds 12 to 15 ° / hour in static ovens and 40 to 50 ° C at most. in ovens where the products are in direct contact with the flame.
  • the muffle extends outside the oven enclosure (4) for a few meters. In a first zone, the muffle cools spontaneously with ambient air. In the second zone, the muffle is cooled by a circulation of cold water in the double jacket (31). At the outlet, the products are at a temperature below 400 ° C.
  • the invention applies to the treatment of certain refractory, special products such as bricks or shaped parts in magnesia impregnated with pitch, raw carbon products, and different types of cylindrical carbon products, such as electrodes, nipple bars, tubular products for the chemical industry and also for products of smaller dimensions, such as coals for electric batteries, which are introduced in the raw state, untreated, in packages in open containers made of refractory steel, which makes it possible to operate in the same cylindrical block; it is also obviously possible to adapt the shape and dimensions of the muffle to those of the products to be treated.
  • special products such as bricks or shaped parts in magnesia impregnated with pitch, raw carbon products, and different types of cylindrical carbon products, such as electrodes, nipple bars, tubular products for the chemical industry and also for products of smaller dimensions, such as coals for electric batteries, which are introduced in the raw state, untreated, in packages in open containers made of refractory steel, which makes it possible to operate in the same cylindrical block; it is also obviously possible
  • the oven allows the cooking of any product, carbon or refractory, impregnated with a pyrolyzable substance providing, like pitches, combustible vapors: this is particularly the case for resins based on organic polymers such as phenol-formaldehyde and polymetracrylates p O'l r to cite only the best known.
  • this oven for the treatment of products other than products impregnated with pitch, such as bars and billets of metals and alloys (based on aluminum, copper, or iron to name the most common).
  • the heating zone ensures over the entire length of each billet, a constant and homogeneous treatment temperature, which makes it possible to carry out, under ideal conditions, homogenization or setting treatments. solid or tempering or heating solution before spinning, or forging, or stamping, or even rolling, with a temperature accuracy of the order of a degree.
  • the billets, raw continuous casting, were homogenized by heating to 485 ° C, then, at the outlet of the oven, the outlet area of which was thermally insulated, directly introduced into the container of a spinning press the temperature of the billet , in the container, was 455 ° C.
