Electric air furnaces benefit from a wide variety of Thermo-Kinetics products.

Electric air furnaces (EAFs) require process measurement and control solutions, and Thermo-Kinetics Measurement & Control Ltd. offers several options.

Our Solutions:

Temperature Measurement

Temperature measurement is crucial in an EAF for process control, enabling precise adjustments to achieve desired steel properties, and for safety, by monitoring and preventing excessive temperatures that could lead to equipment failure or hazardous conditions. Accurate temperature monitoring ensures optimal steel production and helps maintain a safe operating environment in the EAF. Our solutions for temperature measurement include:

  • Thermo-Kinetics Thermocouples are essential in EAFs for temperature measurement, process control, overheating protection, control loop feedback, and quality control. They enable accurate temperature monitoring, optimize steel production, and contribute to the safety and efficiency of the EAF operation.
  • Ametek Land Fixed Spot Non-Contact Thermometers/Pyrometers are utilized in EAFs for temperature monitoring and control. They enable accurate temperature measurement, facilitate process control and optimization, detect hot spots, and contribute to effective maintenance practices in the EAF.
  • Ametek Land’s Portable Non-Contact Thermometers are valuable tools for temperature measurement and monitoring in an EAF. They enable accurate temperature readings, hot spot detection, troubleshooting, process optimization, and safety assessments, enhancing the performance and safety of the EAF.
  • Ametek Land’s Fixed Thermal Imagers are versatile tools used in EAFs for temperature monitoring and analysis. They provide thermal images that enable operators to map temperature distribution, detect hot spots, optimize processes, assess safety, and conduct preventive maintenance. These thermal imagers enhance performance, safety, and reliability within the EAF.

Data Acquisition and Control Systems

Data Acquisition and Control Systems are essential in an EAF for real-time process monitoring, fault detection, historical data analysis, reporting, documentation, and integration with automation systems. These systems collect and analyze data from various sensors, enabling operators to optimize the steelmaking process, perform proactive maintenance, make informed decisions, and enhance the overall efficiency and reliability of the EAF. Our solutions for data acquisition and control systems include:

  • Honeywell Control Systems offer advanced control, optimization, power management, safety features, and integration capabilities for EAFs. They enable precise control of furnace operations, optimize the steelmaking process, manage power supply, ensure safety, and seamlessly integrate with other plant systems. Honeywell control systems enhance efficiency, productivity, power utilization, safety, and coordination within the EAF and the broader steelmaking facility.
  • Honeywell Recorders and Data Acquisition systems are used in EAFs for data collection, analysis, monitoring, and reporting. They capture real-time data, analyze it for process optimization, monitor performance, store historical data, and generate reports. These systems facilitate improved performance, proactive decision-making, compliance, and integration with control systems in the EAF.
