  2. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    An industrial furnace, also known as a direct heater or a direct fired heater, is a device used to provide heat for an industrial process, typically higher than 400 degrees Celsius. [1] They are used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which provides heats of reaction.

  3. Muffle furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffle_furnace

    An Automatic Oil Muffle Furnace, circa 1910. Petroleum is contained in tank A, and is kept under pressure by pumping at intervals with the wooden handle, so that when the valve B is opened, the oil is vaporized by passing through a heating coil at the furnace entrance, and when ignited burns fiercely as a gas flame.

  4. Metallurgical furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgical_furnace

    A metallurgical furnace, often simply referred to as a furnace when the context is known, is an industrial furnace used to heat, melt, or otherwise process metals. Furnaces have been a central piece of equipment throughout the history of metallurgy ; processing metals with heat is even its own engineering specialty known as pyrometallurgy .

  5. Mechanical stoker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_stoker

    A mechanical stoker is a mechanical system that feeds solid fuel like coal, coke or anthracite into the furnace of a steam boiler. They are common on steam locomotives after 1900 and are also used on ships and power stations. Known now as a spreader stoker they remain in use today especially in furnaces fueled by wood pellets or refuse. [1]

  6. Vacuum interrupter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_interrupter

    Tens (or hundreds) of bottles are processed in one batch, using a high-vacuum furnace that heats them at temperatures up to 900 °C and a pressure of 10 −6 mbar. [6] Thus, the interrupters fulfill the quality requirement "sealed for lifetime". Thanks to the fully automatic production process, the high quality can be constantly reproduced at ...

  7. Air–fuel ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air–fuel_ratio

    Air–fuel ratio (AFR) is the mass ratio of air to a solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel present in a combustion process. The combustion may take place in a controlled manner such as in an internal combustion engine or industrial furnace, or may result in an explosion (e.g., a dust explosion).

    APT (Automatically Programmed Tool) [1] is a high-level computer programming language most commonly used to generate instructions for numerically controlled machine tools. ...

  9. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    A thermal expansion valve is a key element to a heat pump; this is the cycle that makes air conditioning, or air cooling, possible.A basic refrigeration cycle consists of four major elements: a compressor, a condenser, a metering device and an evaporator.
