Transition / Booster Heating
|
Increased production, or booster, is the main purpose of this application. To achieve this, Induction heating coils are located in strategic areas of the furnace per customer requirements. Heating coils located between the preheat and soak sections of the furnace offer several advantages. Furnace adjustments for heavier gauges and/or transitions between annealing cycles are easily accommodated by induction heating. Heating coils can be located prior to the snout of the coating pot. Specific heating cycles require cooling the strip below the coating pot temperature. These induction coils are used to reheat the strip so that it enters the coating pot at a specifically controlled temperature.
