US Patent:

20100208765, Aug 19, 2010
Filed:

Feb 13, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/371361
Inventors:

Christopher CARLSON - Tuscaloosa AL, US
David COLE - Mt. Pleasant SC, US
Kegan DREW - Summerville SC, US
Christopher MANNING - North Easton MA, US
Assignee:

NUCOR CORPORATION - Charlotte NC
International Classification:

F27D 17/00
C21B 15/00
US Classification:

373 9, 75 1012
Abstract:

A furnace damper control system and method thereof including a furnace having at least one opening through which electromagnetic radiation from within the furnace may be sensed, an exhaust duct capable of receiving an exhaust gas stream emerging from the furnace, and a controllable damper capable of adjusting the pressure in the exhaust duct. A sensor is capable of sensing electromagnetic radiation through one or more of the openings of the furnace and generating a sensor signal corresponding to the electromagnetic radiation, and a processor is capable of processing the sensor signal and generating a monitoring signal responsive to a parameter of the electromagnetic radiation indicative of furnace emissions. A controller is capable of controlling the damper responsive to the monitoring signal indicative of the furnace emissions.
