Abstract

This paper contains a theoretical rationale for feasibility of, and need for replacement of an existing conventional method of distribution of fuel consumption in zones of continuous reheating furnaces for a universal fuel-efficient method ensuring a guaranteed optimal automatic control of heating metal in compliance with all technological and design constraints, when manufacturing hot-rolled wide sheet products, to reduce the unit cost of fuel.

Keywords

Optimal fuel-efficient heating, temperature, fuel distribution, continuously cast billets, heating zones, temperature trajectory, length of the furnace area.
